Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), the most common type of sleep-related breathing disorder that affects about a quarter of American adults, doesn’t just affect how well you sleep. Repeated lapses in breathing during sleep can have serious consequences for your health, such as increasing the risk of diabetes and heart disease. While continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) devices are the go-to treatment, many find the cumbersome devices expensive and uncomfortable to use.
