The uniqueness of the book resides in a blend of the viewpoint of a physician (sleep medicine specialist) and the viewpoint of a patient's spouse. This book is for people who have or suspect that they have sleep apnea, for their bed partners and their friends. It covers causes, diagnosis, treatment, and surgical techniques as well as the pros and cons of specific therapies.
