Making CPAP Comfortable - Sleep Apnea Squad Ep.4

Are you wrestling with CPAP therapy to treat your sleep apnea? Or maybe your CPAP has turned into a dust collector on your nightstand? You’re not alone, and we’re here to help! About our Guests: Kath Hope Kath Hope is the Founder & CEO of the Hope2Sleep Charity and a patient with severe OSA and nocturnal ‘non-obesity’ hypoventilation. Kath was diagnosed with severe OSA around 18 years ago and, like many, struggled at the beginning of her CPAP therapy with comfort issues. She went from dreading bedtime to now never considering sleeping without her machine for a full night’s sleep every night! Her passion was to help her fellow patients, which resulted in the formation of a charity that currently supports around 25k patients in the UK and even worldwide. Dr. Sarah Silverman Dr. Sarah Silverman is a Stanford-trained sleep psychologist and behavioral sleep medicine specialist who’s passionate about helping others improve their sleep through science-backed and non-medication treatment approaches. Dr. Silverman is an expert in Cognitive Behavior Therapy for insomnia (CBTi), the first-line, drug-free treatment approach for adults with chronic insomnia. CBTi is an effective way to improve sleep naturally and overcome chronic insomnia without medication. Dr. Silverman is also an expert in CBT for positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy, which is an effective way to help with any difficulty related to using CPAP and provide drug-free assistance with PAP therapy adjustment. Connect with Dr. Sarah @drsarahsleep on Instagram and other socials. The Making CPAP Comfortable Toolkit is coming soon!
