Posted in biotech/medical, neuroscience

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep disorder that affects millions of people worldwide.

It occurs when the throat muscles of a person relax and block the airflow into the lungs during sleep.

OSA can cause symptoms such as loud snoring, restless sleep, daytime sleepiness, and morning headaches, which can be debilitating for both the patient and their partner.
