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
