We do always advise not to throw away old CPAP Hoses (or even masks), so we found a good way of recycling very old hoses this year which are certainly giving lots of neighbours a laugh 😅

Have a nice weekend and don't be eating all the sweets (like we have) meant for the trick or treaters 🤣

This is the one we like - an extra hour in bed (or here on Facebook if you already get more than enough sleep 😁

It's lovely to see positive feedback from the exhibitors from our Sleep Apnoea Patient Day for Hope2Sleep Charity's 10th Anniversary
As well as them all being there to talk directly to the patients, they helped provide a lot of the funding for our event to take place 🙏

Thanks Inspire Therapy UK for being a Platinum Sponsor at our event 😊

What a fantastic day celebrating 10 years of at their Patient Day!
The day was packed with inspiring talks and expert insights, helping people uncover even more about sleep apnoea and the importance of appropriate treatment.
💜 One of the highlights for us was hearing from Jeremy, an Inspire patient ambassador. Thank you, Jeremy, for
joining us and speaking so openly and honestly about your personal journey to Inspire.
A huge thank you to everyone who came and spoke to us at the Inspire stand -
for your trust, your questions and your personal insights. 🙏

We're very disappointed to see an article about Sleep Paralysis written by professionals who have not listed 𝐒𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐀𝐩𝐧𝐨𝐞𝐚 𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐬!

We know for sure many diagnosed patients with sleep apnoea do NOT experience Sleep Paralysis once they are fully treated, or at least it's drastically improved (assuming it's the root cause).

Furthermore, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine released a study as far back as 2009 showing patients with OSA who also had various parasomnias, 𝟑𝟖% 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐬 (link in comments).

Doctors explain what sleep paralysis is, why it happens, and how to prevent it in the future.

Further to our recent post warning to look out of OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnoea) in children, here's a paragraph from our most recent newsletter if you're not subscriber, as we have to keep raising awareness for the sake of the children.

Due to confusion by certain media posts about the ban on single-use wet wipes containing plastic, we have released a statement to reassure those who do dependent on wipes for CPAP and other medical use that they are exempt from this ban.
