Campbell County Memorial Hospital and the American Sleep Apnea Association have teamed up to form AWAKE, a sleep apnea awareness group.

AWAKE or Alert, Well, and Keeping Energetic is a quarterly health awareness group for people with sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is a condition in which people experience periods of time when they stop breathing while sleeping.

The group will meet from 7 to 8 p.m. Tuesday in Campbell County Public Library’s Wyoming Room.

The group is free and anyone with questions about snoring, daytime sleepiness, restless legs, insomnia, unexplained high blood pleasure or those using C-PAP or B-PAP machines for sleep apnea should attend.

Guest speaker Patty Wilson will tell her experiences with sleep apnea. The hospital’s sleep disorders clinic also will be present to answer any questions.

For more information, call Dessie Hoxie at the Sleep Disorders Clinic at 688-2350 or visit www.ccmh.net.
