Episode Summary

CPAP is hard to use. It's like the movie THE ALIEN, with a face-hugger wrapped around your face. Some people swear by it, saying it's great. But even the minority that successfully uses it keeps it on less than half the night. What's the Scientific evidence? This podcast reviews a landmark NEJM - New England Journal of Medicine - article from 2016: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1606599 The SAVE study indicated no decrease in cardiovascular events. But it did show significant improvement in depression, anxiety & other lifestyle factors.
