First-Night of CPAP: Impact on Memory Consolidation Attention and Subjective Experience

摘要

ObjectiveNeuro-cognitive deficits are common and serious consequences of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Currently, the gold standard treatment is continuous positive air pressure (CPAP) therapy, although the clinical responses to this intervention can be variable. This study examined the effect of one night of CPAP therapy on sleep-dependent memory consolidation, attention and vigilance as well as subjective experience.
