In The Simpsons, Homer Simpson hilariously tries using a CPAP machine to treat his sleep apnea—but like many patients, he struggles with it.
In real life, CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) is the gold standard treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnea. It works by keeping the airway open during sleep, preventing snoring, oxygen drops, and repeated awakenings.
Before considering surgery, doctors almost always recommend a proper CPAP trial first. Why? Because it’s non-invasive, highly effective, and can dramatically improve sleep quality, daytime energy, and long-term health risks like high blood pressure and heart disease. However, it does take time to get used to it.
Homer may joke about it—but untreated sleep apnea is no laughing matter!
