The most common form of therapy for Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB) is Positive Airway Pressure, or PAP, therapy. This consists of wearing a nasal or facial mask during sleep, which is attached by a long flexible hose, to a PAP machine. The PAP machine delivers pressurized, heated, and humidified room air through the mask to your upper airway.
Oral Appliance Therapy uses appliances worn in the mouth, somewhat similar to sports mouth guards or orthodontic retainers, to reposition the jaw forward during sleep.
Bright Light Therapy, or Light Box Therapy, uses a light source that provides a specific wavelength and intensity to activate neurons in the Suprachiasmatic nucleus of the brain. Studies have shown this to be an effective therapy for Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).
