This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This research study is testing whether a combination of breathing training during the day and reinforcing that training while you sleep can help improve obstructive sleep apnea. Researchers will teach you special breathing techniques over one week, then monitor your sleep and use targeted sound cues during sleep to help your brain remember the training. The goal is to see if this approach reduces breathing interruptions and helps with daytime thinking and focus.
Sleep apnea is a condition where your breathing stops and starts during sleep, leaving you exhausted and affecting your memory and thinking during the day. This study explores whether retraining your breathing patterns—both awake and asleep—might offer a new way to treat this condition without waiting for traditional treatments.

You will spend one week doing breathing exercises at home using a mobile app or device to track your progress. Then you'll come to the laboratory for one night where researchers will monitor your sleep in detail and use targeted sound cues during sleep to reinforce your breathing training. Throughout the study, you'll record your sleep at home using standard devices so the researchers can track changes in your breathing patterns.
