Summary

This study looks at whether a night of poor sleep can trigger abnormal heartbeats, like atrial fibrillation (AFib), in people with obstructive sleep apnea. Researchers will ask 100 adults to wear a heart monitor for 14 days and sometimes skip using their sleep apnea device. The goal is to understand the short-term link between sleep disruption and heart rhythm problems.
