Can you tell me how a cpap change a teenager's life?

If obstructive sleep: apnea is the reason for using CPAP and the cPAP is properly set and used, the teenager will have better sleep, more energy, greater capacity to learn, will lose excess weight, have more stable moods and need fewer hours of sleep.
