Summary

This study looks at how obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) affects thinking skills like attention and memory, and how those changes relate to quality of life. Adults newly diagnosed with OSA will take an overnight sleep test, followed by computer tasks and questionnaires. Their results will be compared to a group of healthy volunteers to better understand the connection between sleep, cognition, and well-being.
