 Rating:  - extremely helpfulI was diagnosed with sleep apnea recently. A sleep specialist friend recommended this book and I must say it is full of solid information that is useful in understanding sleep apnea. I particularly appreciated the section where many questions, concerns, difficulties about sleep apnea and the CPAP machines are discussed. Rather than always having to contact my sleep center doctor or the medical equipment company, answers were found in this book. I would buy it again or suggest to anyone with sleep ... Read More Rating: - Phantom of the NightGreat book.....very informative, answers most of your questions on this involved subject, especially if you are newly diagnosed and confused. Most information is dead on, and worth a read. Rating: - Sleep Apnea- Phantom..... Excellent InformationA must-have book for anyone who has been diagnosed with Obstructive Sleep Apnea. All of the questions that you will forget to ask your doctor will be answered somewhere in this informative volume. Also great if someone close to you has apnea. This book should be included with every CPAP machine at delivery. MRM Rating:  - SLEEP APNEA: THE PHANTOM OF THE NIGHTI was so happy when I found this book online, after many weeks of researching.

If I would have wanted a "textboook" I would have gone to the college bookstore. It was money ... Read More Rating: - Encyclopedia of sleep apneaI have been diagnosed with sleep apnea and use CPAP. In order to be more involved with my own treatment I purchased four books on the subject to gain as much insight as possible. This is without a doubt the most informative. It describes the condition, compares it to normal sleep patterns and gives nearly encyclopedic information on treatments and what you can do to help yourself. I highly recommend this book.
