Discussion

Prospective observational study shows improved sleep quality and reduced daytime sleepiness in OSA patients after positive airway pressure therapy.

Significant improvements in sleep quality were observed after one week of positive airway pressure therapy.
Actigraphy data indicated a reduction in the number of wake bouts from 45.4 to 37.6 events (p=0.002).
Sleep latency decreased from 29.6 to 19.4 minutes after therapy (p=0.017), indicating better sleep continuity.
Patients reported decreased daytime sleepiness as measured by the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (10.5 to 7.5, p=0.003).

A 2025 study studied this question.
