Summary

This study explores whether practicing breathing exercises while awake and then replaying them during sleep can change how people breathe at night and boost their thinking skills. Researchers will recruit 18 adults with untreated obstructive sleep apnea. Participants will train at home for a week and then spend one night in a lab for detailed sleep monitoring and targeted memory reactivation.
