First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether simple exercises (like drinking water and breathing in a certain way) can improve sleep quality in 60 U.S. service members with obstructive sleep apnea. Some participants have also had a traumatic brain injury. The goal is to see if these exercises reduce breathing pauses during sleep and improve daytime alertness.
