All about OSA

Many of us take a good night's sleep for granted. We sleep peacefully through the night, blissfully unaware that up to 9% of the adult population struggle to sleep with a frightening and potentially life threatening disorder known as Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).1 Up to 80% of these people are undiagnosed.² Worse still many of these people are completely unaware of their condition – oblivious to the reason for their tiredness and lesser quality of life.
