Understanding Sleep Apnea Disorder
Friday, April 20th,

ILR Conference Center,
Room 225
Obstructive sleep
apnea is common, affecting an estimated 3-7% of adult men and 2-5% of adult
women in the general population. Prevalence rates are increasing and many
people with sleep apnea are undiagnosed. Common symptoms include habitual loud
snoring, poor quality sleep, and chronic daytime tiredness. Lecture
attendees will leave with a better understanding of what sleep apnea is/is not,
and treatment options that are currently available, including CPAP
machines. If you or someone you care about has symptoms of or has been
diagnosed with sleep apnea, this lecture is for you.
