LOS ANGELES – Project Sleep, a nonprofit dedicated to raising awareness of sleep health, equity and disorders, has launched a new education series on its YouTube channel called Sleep Apnea Squad. Hosted by Emma Cooksey, renowned sleep apnea patient advocate and Project Sleep's sleep apnea program manager, the new series will explore various aspects of living with sleep apnea and provide much-needed resources to help patients and families navigate the journey from diagnosis to treatment and from stigma to advocacy. "According to the American Medical Association, about 30 million people in the United States have sleep apnea, but only 6 million are diagnosed," said Julie Flygare, JD, president & CEO of Project Sleep. "This is why Project Sleep is taking action to help address this major public health gap so that more people get the information and support they need and deserve." Each topic of the Sleep Apnea Squad series will be addressed first in a live broadcast, followed by a PDF toolkit, podcast and social media shareables to accommodate various learning styles. The first six live broadcasts in the series will address the following topics: "Could I have sleep apnea?"; sleep apnea testing; sleep apnea treatment options; making CPAP comfortable; fighting the stigma of sleep apnea; and new medications for sleep apnea.
