Michael Sharp
Patient
Hoag Sleep Disorders Center

As an individual living with a sleep disorder, Hoag Hospital provided me with the individualized treatment I was looking for. After my evaluation, it was determined that the best treatment for my sleep problem was the use of a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine during sleep.

My experience with using a CPAP machine has been a good one. Sure, sometimes it makes me look silly or can get a little annoying. When you consider all of the benefits it provides, it’s no problem dealing with some of drawbacks such as taking it with me on a business trip or listening to the slight noise.

Since I have been using CPAP, I no longer snore, I have deeper, longer sleep, and I have more energy during the day. There are also significant health improvements caused by the use of CPAP. I get fewer headaches and my physician says I have lower blood pressure and a lower heart rate.

My bed partner is also positively affected by my use of the machine. Now, we both can get a good night’s sleep and wake up in the morning feeling refreshed and ready to start the day. I don't mind explaining how Hoag Sleep Disorders Center has changed my life. In my opinion, sharing this information could be important to improving someone else's life or even saving it.

Since receiving treatment for sleep apnea, I have been enjoying unexpected results.

That long remembered phrase, “now I lay me down to sleep,” means pleasure, startling sleep scenarios and amazing dreams.

Who could have imagined that treatment for sleep apnea would mean pleasure and continuous anticipation of retiring each night.

Thank you.
