Checks 1–2: symptoms and impact

Describe the night-time pattern and the effect on daytime life. Include observed breathing pauses, gasping and significant sleepiness. Those symptoms warrant medical advice; you do not have to complete a home-care checklist first.

Checks 3–4: purpose and suitability

Identify what the proposed measure is meant to do and whether it suits your situation. Nasal products, positional approaches and fitted oral appliances serve different roles. Product rankings do not establish an individual recommendation.

Checks 5–6: directions and existing care
