‘Highly likely’ many Australians suffering from sleep apnea without knowing

ResMed ambassador Olivia Arrezolo says it is “highly likely” there are a large number of Aussies suffering from sleep apnea without even knowing. It follows Res Med’s 2024 Global Sleep Survey report which studied over 1,500 Australians, and has uncovered some of the most critical sleep challenges faced by Australians. “It’s highly likely that so many Aussies are struggling without even realizing,” Ms Arrezolo told Sky News Australia. “The ResMed survey also found that 66 per cent of Aussies have not consulted a medical professional for their sleep problems. “Most likely they are just putting up with it because the common signs are not necessarily ones that we would connect to sleep apnea.”
