What is AWAKE Sleep Apnea?

AWAKE Sleep Apnea is a strategic initiative of The American Sleep Apnea Association. The goal is to bring patient voices to the FDA to inform research and the development of more treatment options for sleep apnea.

There are two critical ways to participate in AWAKE Sleep Apnea:


Share Your Experience

SURVEY CONCLUDED

Patients’ experience with sleep apnea is invaluable to help medical product developers and FDA regulators understand patients’ needs and expectations for treatment. If you’re a patient with sleep apnea (diagnosed or not) or a caregiver for someone with sleep apnea, please take our survey about symptoms, what types of treatments you’re using, how sleep apnea impacts daily life, etc.

Sharing this information with the FDA is a crucial way help policymakers make informed decisions based on patients’ needs, especially as new medical products (medications, devices, diagnostics, etc.) are developed and evaluated for safety and effectiveness.
