Live from London, Sleep Is My Waking Passion joins forces with multi‑award‑winning ENT and specialist sleep surgeon Dr. Ryan Chin Taw Cheong to break down how obstructive sleep apnea is managed in the UK versus the USA. From earlier ENT involvement and airway‑focused surgery in the NHS to faster access to sleep testing and PAP in many American settings, we highlight what each system gets right—and where patients still fall through the cracks.
We cover recognition gaps, long wait times (up to a year for some UK pathways), CPAP and BiPAP, oral appliances, nasal and upper‑airway surgery, and the latest wave of “mask‑free” and metabolic treatments that everyone is Googling right now. If you or your patients are navigating sleep apnea care in the US or UK—or looking for real‑world guidance on when to see an ENT sleep surgeon—this episode is your practical, evidence‑based starting point.
