Welcome to The Better Sleep Clinic Sleep Apnea Community
Sleep apnea affects millions of people in the UK, but 85% of people don't know they have it.
We want to build more awareness of this condition throughout the UK, and ensure everyone that everyone living with sleep apnea as well as their fmailies get as much support as possible.

Share Your Sleep Apnea Story
Have you been diagnosed with sleep apnea? We'd love to hear about your journey, what led you to get tested, what treatment has looked like, and how it's changed things for you.
Sharing your story can help others who are going through the same thing, whether they're still putting off getting tested or just starting treatment and wondering if it's worth it.
What we're looking for:
Your experience getting diagnosed
What treatment you're on (CPAP, dental device, other)
What's changed since starting treatment
Anything you'd tell someone who's just been diagnosed
You can share as much or as little as you like, and you're welcome to stay anonymous if you'd prefer, just let us know.
Symptoms of Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea often goes unnoticed, but there are clear signs to look out for:
Loud or persistent snoring
Waking up gasping, choking, or short of breath
Feeling exhausted despite a full night in bed
Morning headaches
Poor concentration or brain fog
Waking up frequently during the night
Many people live with these symptoms for years without realising the cause.
Am I at Risk of Sleep Apnea?
You may be at higher risk if you:
Have been told you snore loudly
Feel excessively tired during the day
Have high blood pressure
Wake up frequently during the night
Have a partner who notices pauses in your breathing
Sleep apnea affects millions of people in the UK, and an estimated 85% remain undiagnosed, but it can be identified quickly with a simple home test.
