Summary

This study looks at how insomnia affects how often children and teens use their positive airway pressure (PAP) machines for obstructive sleep apnea. Researchers will track 82 kids aged 8-18 who are starting PAP therapy and measure their machine use over 90 days. The goal is to understand barriers to adherence, including the role of race and ethnicity.
