ABSTRACT

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder marked by repeated episodes of partial or full blockage of the upper airway during sleep, causing interrupted sleep and possible drops in oxygen levels. These disturbances lead to significant effects, most notably Excessive Daytime Sleepiness (EDS), which is particularly hazardous in jobs that require high safety standards
