What Is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder in which an individual's breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep.

Symptoms of sleep apnea include:

• Heavy snoring or gasping during sleep
• Observed breathing pauses during sleep
• Morning headaches
• Feeling unrefreshed in the morning
• Excessive daytime sleepiness
• Impaired concentration, memory, vigilance, and mood

Complications from lack of sleep due to sleep apnea could include:

• Motor vehicle accidents
• High blood pressure
• Cardiovascular disease
• Stroke

How Inspire Therapy Works

The Inspire system works completely inside your body with your natural breathing process to treat obstructive sleep apnea. While you are asleep, Inspire delivers mild stimulation to the hypoglossal nerve, which controls the movement of the tongue and other muscles in the airway. By stimulating the nerve, the tongue and other tissues move out of the airway so you can breathe during sleep.

Inspire therapy is controlled using the small, hand-held Inspire sleep remote with no mask or hose needed. You simply turn the therapy on before bed—you can adjust stimulation strength and pause stimulation during the night if needed—and off when you wake. It’s a therapy that can help you take control of your sleep apnea and get the restful sleep you’ve been missing.
