CPAP Alternatives: Understanding the 3 Causes of Sleep Apnoea

Struggling to stick with your CPAP therapy every night? You are certainly not alone—while CPAP is the "gold standard," many find it a significant challenge to maintain. In this educational explainer, Sleep2DreamAnalytics goes "beyond the mask" to explore why not all sleep apnoea is created equal. We shift the focus from a one-size-fits-all approach to a personalised model based on the three root causes of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA). Think of your airway as a tunnel: an apnoea event is a traffic jam that can be caused by a narrow tunnel (anatomy), failing guardrails (muscles), or a jumpy traffic light system (brain signals). We break down the latest evidence-based options, from alternative therapies used instead of CPAP to adjunctive therapies used to boost your current results. You will learn about high-tech solutions like hypoglossal nerve stimulation (a pacemaker for your tongue), the surprising benefits of myofunctional therapy (including the "didgeridoo" study), and why weight loss—while highly effective—isn't always a complete cure-all. In this video, you will learn: • The Three Pathways: How to identify if your struggle is rooted in anatomy, muscle response, or a "low arousal threshold" in the brain. • The Anatomy Fix: The impact of medical vs. surgical weight loss and why over half of patients might just need positional therapy. • The Muscle "Pacemaker": How a tiny implant can reduce apnoea events by 50% to 70% for the right candidate. • Brain Signal Stability: Why supplemental oxygen works for "high loop gain" systems but does almost nothing for others. • The Future of Pills: An honest look at the investigational frontier of pharmacological treatments for sleep. • Personalised Conversation: The specific questions you should take to your doctor to find a treatment that matches your specific biology. Finding the right path forward starts with understanding the real underlying cause of your specific type of apnoea.
