Obstructive Sleep Apnea and CPAP Support Group
The group is called, AWAKE, an acronym for Alert, Well, And Keeping Energetic, part of a network of hundreds of mutual-help support groups throughout the United States for persons affected by sleep apnea. The Network, founded in 1988, is an integral part of the American Sleep Apnea Association (ASAA) and since 1990, the two have been partners in assisting people with apnea, their families, and the healthcare community concerned with sleep apnea. This is a monthly support group where CPAP users help each other to improve their sleep and health by improving the comfort of CPAP use.
