About this study
Have you been diagnosed with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), but are currently not being treated, or are waiting to start treatment? You may be eligible for a research study to improve our understanding of how sleep and breathing patterns vary from night to night among individuals with obstructive sleep apnea. Compensation is provided.
What you’ll do
For this study, you will be asked to wear a sleep device that will measure your sleep over 7 nights and answer some periodic questions about your mood and sleep quality the following day. The first night typically takes the longest, but it gets easier to apply on the following nights. Once the device is applied, you will be able to sleep, roll over in bed, and use the restroom as you usually would. At the first study visit, the study will measure your height and weight, check your blood pressure, draw up to 2 tubes of blood, and ask you to complete 12 questionnaires about your sleep, daytime mood, and function. The second visit is to return the equipment at the end of the study.
