Q1: Do I need a sleep study to be diagnosed with sleep apnea?
A1: Yes. A sleep study—either in a lab or at home—is necessary to confirm a sleep apnea diagnosis. It measures how often you stop breathing and how severe your symptoms are.

Q2: What’s the difference between insomnia and sleep apnea?
A2: Insomnia is the inability to fall or stay asleep, often related to stress or habits. Sleep apnea causes frequent nighttime awakenings due to breathing disruptions, often without awareness.

Q3: Can I be treated for sleep apnea without a CPAP machine?
A3: In some cases, yes. Lifestyle changes, weight loss, positional therapy, or oral appliances may be alternatives. Your provider will guide you based on the severity of your apnea.
