About this title

Review:

Apnea is the involuntary closing of the throat during sleep which prevents air getting into the lungs. Hundreds of apneas can occur during a single night's sleep. In order to breathe, the sufferer must stop sleeping. These frequent arousals, usually not remembered, fragment and spoil sleep. Millions of Americans are afflicted with sleep apnea syndrome. Untreated, sleep apnea can cause stroke, hypertension, and heart disease, and carries an increased mortality risk. Fatigue is now recognized as a significant cause of traffic accidents because of people falling asleep at the wheel and people with severe, untreated apnea have been shown to have an increased risk of crashes. Sleep apnea is often marked by snoring, and after insomnia, sleep apnea is the most prevalent sleep disorder striking middle-aged and older men, and post-menopausal women. Phantom Of The Night: Overcome Sleep Apnea Syndrome And Snoring informs people who might have apnea how they may seek relief and urges them to do so. It includes the latest information on treatments, products, services, and support groups. Essential reading for any apnea sufferer. -- Midwest Book Review
