A young male doctor presented with complaints of excessive daytime sleepiness and loud snoring, which had even led to a near-fatal driving accident. A level I polysomnography was done, which showed severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) hypopnea syndrome, and the patient was advised continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. On follow-up, the patient's compliance with his positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy was nearly 12 hours per day, including during the daytime in the awake state. A detailed evaluation of the patient helped in gaining insight into the etiology of the same.
