Take a look at the latest post on my blog regarding the link between Alzheimer's and obstructive sleep apnea—it's a provocative discussion on another possible consequence of untreated obstructive sleep apnea:
wow. My Grandfather had Alzheimers and we're all sure he also had sleep apnea now. It's too late for him now, but I'll share this with my family. Several of whom have sleep apnea and who are not compliant at all with their cpap.
There's also an HBO special airing these days on Alzheimer's that really drives home how debilitating and sad this disease can be. If that's not an incentive to get treated for OSA, I don't know what is. Good luck getting your family on board.
