Stories behind the wake‑up call†

Mark’s story

“As the years went by, my snoring became increasingly troubling for my wife. What began as a simple annoyance soon turned to genuine fear when she noticed I sometimes stopped breathing during the night. I also became worried when I discovered the long pauses in my breathing while I was sleeping often led me to gasping and choking myself awake. Shortly after, I spoke with my doctor about my symptoms.”

Stories behind the wake‑up call†

Clara’s story

“Every afternoon around four or five p.m., I struggled to keep my eyes open. I wasn’t working at the time, but even on nights when I slept eight or nine hours, I woke up exhausted. No matter how much I slept, it never seemed to be enough. I would wake up in the middle of the night feeling breathless, and eventually I realized just how serious my sleep situation had become.”

Stories behind the wake‑up call†

Brittany’s story

“After college, I went into teaching. Thinking back to those days, I remember advising parents to make sure their kids got enough sleep before a test or a big day, like a field trip. I know how important sleep is, which is why I emphasized it to parents — and yet, I wasn’t thinking of the quality of my own sleep.”

Sleep apnea FAQs

Sleep apnea can lead to pauses in breathing that may last from 10 seconds to over a minute. These pauses can lead to repeated drops in blood oxygen levels.

  • Sleep assessment: A 3–5-minute Resmed questionnaire that helps you understand your sleep habits and symptoms. It is NOT intended as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
  • Sleep test: A prescribed medical test (either a home sleep test or an in-lab study) that measures your breathing, oxygen levels and sleep patterns to determine if you have sleep apnea.
  • Sleep apnea diagnosis: A healthcare provider reviews your sleep-test results and confirms whether you have sleep apnea.

A sleep test is usually recommended after you speak with a doctor about symptoms like snoring, morning headaches or daytime fatigue. Your provider will review your medical history and may suggest either a home sleep test or an in-lab study if they suspect sleep apnea.2

Most insurance plans, including Medicare, may cover sleep tests, doctor visits, and CPAP equipment when medically necessary. You may still have a copay or deductible. Check with your insurance provider to confirm what’s included under your plan or click here to check your insurance now.

The first step after any diagnosis is figuring out how best to treat it. And with sleep apnea, it’s important that treatment begins as soon as possible. The good news is that sleep apnea is well-understood, and effective treatments for sleep apnea are available.
Understanding your options for treatment can help you and your doctor make an informed decision about the steps you can take next.
