If you have sleep apnea and have conducted any research on available treatments, you have probably heard about CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure). This therapy involves a machine that dispenses pressurized air through a hose and into a mask placed over the face and nose. This air serves to keep the airway open and ease breathing during sleep. Our expert in CPAP and snoring mouthpiece in Los Angeles recommends this treatment for a number of reasons. 
 
 
Benefits of CPAP
 
Most effective treatment method for keeping airways open during sleep
Results in better quality of sleep
Decreases your chances of high blood pressure, diabetes, and stroke
Provides relief from sleep apnea symptoms like excessive daytime fatigue and AM headaches
Eliminates disruptive snoring, resulting in better sleep for everyone in your household
In most instances, using CPAP results in less awakenings during the night and fewer cases of insomnia. All in all, CPAP therapy can greatly improve your quality of sleep at night and level of functionality during the day.
CPAP can lower your risk of involvement in car accidents through improved reaction time and focus in treatment users.
