Don't Lose Sleep Over Snoring

Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Forum 2023

PULSE Issue 42 | February 2024

On 19 August 2023, NUHCS organised a public health talk titled "Don't Lose Sleep Over Snoring" to spread awareness on Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) – a condition where the throat muscles relax during sleep, causing airway blockage. With up to one in three Singaporeans suffering from some form of OSA, this forum aimed to provide insightful information and tips on managing this under-diagnosed sleep disorder.

To equip the attendees with greater knowledge on how to effectively recognise symptoms of OSA for early intervention, four specialists were invited to discuss on OSA-related topics, ranging from risk factors to dispelling common myths and methods to mitigate the effects of OSA.
