SnoreYawnWarn is about snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnoea / Apnea (OSA).
SnoreYawnWarn is an international campaign open to all who believe it’s time to STOP trivialising snoring. It’s free and open to all.![SnoreYawnWarn campaign. Snoring is not a joke!](https://bspss.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/SnoreYawnWarn-campaign-300x300.png)
- SNORE– Don’t trivialise snoring – it’s not a joke
- YAWN– Are you sleepy when you should be awake?
- WARN – Snoring and sleepiness when you should be alert are warning signs of sleep apnoea / apnea
Why?
Snoring is routinely dismissed as a joke, when it’s anything but for:- the partner who struggles with sleep loss and arguments
- the snorer who may have life-threatening sleep apnoea / apnea
- all of us – when someone with undiagnosed sleep apnoea falls asleep while working in a vigilance critical role
🢥 STOP the exploitation. Stop profiting from people’s misery.
🢥 STOP encouraging self-diagnosis.
🢥 STOP selling rubbish with no evidence of effect other than placebo.
😴 Snoring may be a symptom of obstructive sleep apnoea / apnea – a life threatening condition. The consequences of snoring and untreated sleep apnoea / apnea are so many and wide-spread, you should have plenty to talk about! This is your opportunity to ‘Bang the metaphorical drum‘.![Warning - These are warning signs of sleep apnoea / apnea - seek help!](https://bspss.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/SnoreYawnWarn-campaign-1024x1024.png)
