061 - Non-CPAP Options

Dr. Joshua Lennon Episode 61

If entering the 3rd year of the pandemic wasn’t bad enough for your sleep, many of you may have been told at some point you have sleep disordered breathing and are unable or unwilling to use a CPAP device - now what? 

One of the most frequent causes of disrupted sleep and feeling poorly rested upon waking is sleep disordered breathing. Recent changes have made access to the gold-standard treatment for this condition harder than ever. But historical acceptance and adherence to the treatment was already abysmal. 

In this episode, I take a look at some non-surgical treatment options for the management of sleep disordered breathing if the gold standard positive airway pressure devices are unavailable or declined.
