AWAKE in Sacramento or SF?
Question:
A.W.A.K.E. is part of the American Sleep Apnea Assn, and as such is only for those affected by sleep apnea. However, it is open to the public and there are no membership fees or costs to attend meetings. Some of what you learn at meetings might be of some help with insomnia, but most will be specifically related to sleep apnea. Unfortunately, there is no network of organized support groups for insomnia, as there is no association for those affected by insomnia. Keep in mind that anyone can start a support group for any purpose. It’s easier when it’s part of an organized network of groups, but not required. Visit your local sleep centers, plan an organizational meeting for a local insomnia group, have an announcement in your newspaper, put up flyers … start a group in your community. — Regards, Lauren Ero, MS A.W.A.K.E.

Can you tell me if AWAKE is only for sleep apnea or other disorders as well? I have severe insomnia, but no apnea. Done the sleep disorders test. Results were 66% sleep functiona nd never getting to a deep sleep. Supposedly that’s why I always feel like I am awake. His assement = problem is psychological, with no further recommendations.

It is interesting to see you provide this list here, since several of these groups are not registered with the American Sleep Apnea Association as A.W.A.K.E. groups. People can certainly have local support groups, but they are not A.W.A.K.E. groups if they are not registered with us. Sacramento, San Francisco, and Stanford groups are part of the A.W.A.K.E. Network. — Regards, Lauren Ero, MS A.W.A.K.E.

Hi everyone, I was wondering if there is and AWAKE group in the Sacramento area. If soemone could send me some info, a website, phone number, anything, I’d be grateful. Although the SF Bay Area is a little further out of my way, I’d still be interested in any groups there as well. Thanks, Scott
