#160 - Still Sleepy After CPAP: I'm Not Dead, I'm Not Myself
Manage episode 494296083 series 3365942
We’ve explored sleep apnea in depth on the podcast—its causes, its severity, and the many ways it’s treated. But what happens when the sleepiness lingers, even after treatment? In this episode, we will:
- Define sleep apnea, what it is—and what it isn’t
- Learn how excessive daytime sleepiness is defined, both on its own and in the context of sleep apnea
- Review the most common and effective treatments for sleep apnea
- Explore how often treatment truly resolves sleepiness in patients
- Consider why lingering sleepiness is frequently missed or dismissed
- List treatment options for residual EDS in individuals with sleep apnea
Produced by: Maeve Winter
