Summary

This study tests whether a breathing therapy device (adaptive servo ventilation) can reduce insomnia severity in adults with moderate to severe chronic insomnia. About 25 participants will use the device and report changes in sleep quality and how long it takes to fall asleep over 4 weeks. The goal is to see if this approach offers a new way to ease insomnia symptoms.
