Sleep Apnea Awareness Day (American Sleep Apnea Association)
“Sleep Apnea: An Equal Opportunity Disorder”
Awareness day set by the American Sleep Apnea Association, first held during National Sleep Awareness Week. The 2007 theme challenged the belief that only older, overweight men get sleep apnoea, with an ad showing a woman wearing a CPAP mask; by 2013 the day had moved to April 18.

Research notes
Created 2026-10-24 by an AI research pass for #103 (A1); not reviewed by a person. The tagline is the 2007 theme; it is not the day's permanent tagline. sleepapnea.org now shows no awareness day, so whether it still runs is unknown (endYear null is a guess). The 2007 date was 8 March; by 2013 it was 18 April. To verify: start year 2007; dates 8 March 2007 and 18 April 2013; current status.
