Even when OSA is treated, some patients continue to struggle with excessive daytime sleepiness that affects work performance, relationships, cognition, and quality of life. In this practical webinar, sleep physician-presenters explore how to better identify, assess, and manage residual EDS in 2026—moving beyond the AHI to focus on real-world functional outcomes, patient-reported symptoms, and emerging treatment strategies.

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe the prevalence and clinical burden of residual EDS in treated OSA
  • Identify limitations of relying solely on the Epworth Sleepiness Scale
  • Apply patient-centered questioning strategies to uncover underrecognized sleepiness
  • Discuss evolving treatment approaches and longitudinal management strategies for residual EDS in OSA
