Sleep apnoea syndrome (SAS) significantly impacts daily life, causing excessive daytime sleepiness and fatigue in most patients. Effective treatments, such as n-CPAP, can improve both physical and mental health symptoms.

Area of Science:

  • Sleep Medicine
  • Pulmonology
  • Neuropsychology

Context:

  • Sleep apnoea syndrome (SAS) presents with significant somatic and psychosocial symptoms.
  • Excessive daytime somnolence is a primary complaint, affecting daily functioning and social life.

Purpose:

  • To highlight the impact of sleep apnoea syndrome on patients' daily lives and work.
  • To emphasize the benefits of timely treatment for both physical and neuropsychological symptoms.

Summary:

  • 24 SAS patients reported excessive daytime sleepiness (79.2%) and non-restorative sleep (70.8%).
  • Workplace difficulties staying awake were noted in 11 of 17 employed patients.
  • Psychosocial symptoms severely impair social life.
