According to the National Sleep Foundation, nearly half of the 18 million Americans who have sleep apnea are not using their CPAP masks correctly or consistently.

“Although CPAPs are very useful in treating sleep apnea, there are alternatives if it’s not working well,” said Dr. Hafner. “Getting a good night’s sleep and feeling well rested is extremely important.” 

Cumberland Medical Center’s Sleep Disorder Center helps with the diagnosis and treatment of various sleep disorders, such as sleep apnea, which affects one’s overall health. In addition to daytime sleepiness and fatigue, certain disorders may cause high blood pressure and serious heart problems. Sufferers often experience more illness, more accidents, reduced job performance, and strained relationships.

The CPAP Support Group welcomes patients and their families, who are affected with sleep disorders similar to sleep apnea, to attend. The support group will meet in Cumberland Medical Center Conference Center – Room C. The meeting is free; however space is limited. Reservations to attend are requested and can be made by calling Cyndy Whitson, Support Group Coordinator, at (931) 459-7249.
