Case Studies
Explore the strong connection between sleep apnea and mood disorders, as highlighted in recent studies. Individuals with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) face a higher risk of depression and anxiety, with nearly three times the likelihood of developing depression. Untreated OSA can worsen these conditions, but early diagnosis and treatment can significantly improve mental health outcomes. Discover the latest research and the importance of integrated care for sleep and mental health.

Deep sleep helps protect the brain from Alzheimer's by clearing harmful beta-amyloid deposits. A UC Berkeley study found that better deep sleep improves memory, especially in those at risk for Alzheimer's. Practical steps like consistent sleep schedules and reducing caffeine can enhance deep sleep and potentially prevent cognitive decline.

Discover the incidence of treatment-induced central sleep apnea (TE-CSA) during hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS) titration for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients. This study uses frequent home sleep apnea testing (HSAT) to evaluate respiratory changes and optimize HGNS efficacy. Learn more about the importance of early detection and tailored interventions in OSA management.
