Dispelling Common Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) Myths
More than 30 million people live with OSA, according to the American Medical Association. Unfortunately, 80-90% of people with OSA never get diagnosed and often assume myths are fact. Here are the real facts.
| OSA Myth | OSA Fact |
| Snoring is annoying but harmless. | Habitual, loud snoring—especially with witnessed pauses, choking or gasping—can indicate OSA and merits evaluation. |
| OSA only affects older or overweight men. | OSA occurs across ages, body types, and genders; risk increases with certain anatomical and medical factors. |
| CPAP is uncomfortable and not worth it. | Modern auto CPAP therapy offers multiple mask styles, comfort features, and coaching that improve fit, sleep quality, and adherence. |
| If I’m not sleepy, I don’t have OSA. | Some people don’t perceive daytime sleepiness yet still experience cardiovascular and metabolic risks from untreated OSA. |
| Testing is complicated and always requires a sleep lab. | At-home sleep testing is easy, convenient, accurate for most candidates, and physician-reviewed. |
