Several UK news reports say that people with sleep apnoea who use continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines can find them noisy or uncomfortable, including for bed partners. The articles describe CPAP as the long-standing standard treatment while pointing readers toward other options.
The outlets emphasize that many people may not be aware of alternative treatments and that some options are available through the National Health Service (NHS). While the reports share this overall message, they do not focus on detailed clinical results in the provided excerpts, nor do they specify which alternatives are recommended for particular patients. The common theme across both sources is awareness: improving access to or consideration of non-CPAP approaches for managing sleep apnoea, particularly for those struggling with comfort or adherence to CPAP.
