Sponsored: New Approach to Snoring Support
For many people with mild obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and snoring, treatment options often involve wearing a device during sleep. eXciteOSA® by Spring Sleep takes a different approach. Used for just 20 minutes a day while awake, it is designed to strengthen tongue muscles associated with maintaining upper airway function. Because therapy is completed during the day, there is no device to wear overnight, making bedtime as simple as getting comfortable and going to sleep. Fill out the Questionnaire to see if eXciteOSA from Spring Sleep is right for you
