Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The most common treatment for difficulty sleeping due to stopping breathing during the night is a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device. This device provides a constant flow of air pressure to keep the airway open and prevent pauses in breathing. Prescription medications and alcohol are not effective treatments for sleep apnea. Sleeping in a chair may help some people with sleep apnea but is not typically recommended as the first-line treatment.
