Sleeping in a Hurricane

Sleep Apnoea, spelt Sleep Apnea outside the United Kingdom, is a condition that causes interrupted breathing during sleep. Each pause in breathing, or 'Apnoea', can last from a few seconds to a few minutes. Will Stead was diagnosed with Sleep Apnoea in 2010. 'Sleeping in a Hurricane' is his first-hand story of sleep apnoea from a patient’s perspective. Charting the journey from initial consultations and diagnosis, 'Sleeping in a Hurricane' follows Will through sleep tests and CPAP Therapy to eventually getting back on the road to normality. With a mixture of humour and reflection, this true story is an insight into sleep apnoea, its diagnosis and treatment. 'Sleeping in a Hurricane' provides help, support and a comparative viewpoint for those people suffering from sleep apnoea as well as an entertaining read for those that do not.
