Upright: Sleep apnea patients benefit from an appliance to maintain airway potency or opening but simply sleeping upright in a recliner helps keep the full weight of the tongue from occluding the upper airway.

C-PAP: Given that an individual has undergone a sleep study or polysomography that has been reviewed by a sleep specialist, the main stay of treatment for sleep apnea is the use of a c-pap device. This device senses a persons breathing and ensures that one's oxygen saturation remains adequate throughout sleep. Today there are a wide variety of masks to ensure maximum comfort while sleeping.
