Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) syndrome is a disorder characterized by repetitive episodes of upper airway obstruction that occur during sleep. Associated features include loud snoring and fragmented non-refreshing sleep and have profound impact on quality of life, on safety on the roads and at work, and on the cardiovascular and metabolic systems.~The aim of the study is to test the hypothesis that a new device would produce a significant decrease in obstructive breathing events during sleep as indexed by the AHI/RDI and measures of oxygen saturation during sleep.
