Sleep apnea is a potentially serious sleep disorder where breathing repeatedly starts and stops throughout the night during sleep.
Sleep apnea is thought to affect almost 30 million people in the U.s. or 12 percent of the population.
Although it is common, it is often undiagnosed and untreated. More than 200,000 cases in the U.S. are reported per year.

There are three types of sleep apnea: obstructive, central, and complex.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) happens when there is a problem with the upper airway obstruction, in the mouth and throat
Central sleep apnea (CSA) happens when your brain doesn’t signal your muscles in the right way. It causes you to stop breathing briefly or to breathe so lightly that you don’t get enough oxygen.

Solutions for Sleep Apnea
The health problems associated with sleep apnea might sound scary (they definitely did to me!) but there are several different options for treating it!
No mask.
No hose.
Just sleep.
Inspire is the only FDA approved obstructive sleep apnea treatment that works inside your body to treat the root cause of sleep apnea with just the click of a button.
How it Works
Inspire works inside your body while you sleep. It’s a small device placed during a same-day, outpatient procedure.
When you’re ready for bed, simply click the remote to turn Inspire on. While you sleep, Inspire opens your airway, allowing you to breathe normally and sleep peacefully.

Most common is the CPAP machine, which is the short version for continuous positive airway pressure. This machine has a mask attached with a hose, is worn at night, and helps you breathe better and get the rest you need.
Most people who use it say they sleep better, feel better, feel healthier overall, and can exercise because their energy is better. That’s great news!
Other treatments include mouth appliances, nerve stimulators, and as a last resort, surgery.
