Bedtime ketone drink tested as new sleep apnea aid
NCT ID NCT06687655
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 26 times
Summary
This study tests whether drinking a ketone supplement (Ketone-IQ) before sleep can improve sleep quality and reduce breathing pauses in people with moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea. Thirty adults who already use CPAP will try the drink for two nights and a placebo for two nights, with sleep tracked at home. The goal is to see if ketones offer an easier alternative to a strict ketogenic diet for managing sleep apnea.
