Primary outcomePrimary: Change in Total Sleep Time Before and After CPAP Therapy in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patients — 29 minutes — p=<0.05
Summary
In Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients, sleep is disrupted and sleep quality is very poor. The investigators can suppose that with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy, there is an improvement in sleep quality, such that patients need less sleep to be fit. Sleep schedules on mid term periods in OSA patients under CPAP therapy has not been studied. The investigators have planned to study sleep schemes before and after CPAP therapy in moderate to severe sleepy OSA patients.
