Abstract
Aim: Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is characterized by repetitive episodes of complete or partial upper airway obstruction during sleep. Patients who slept at least 30 minutes in REM sleep, total apnea-hypopnea index (AHI)>5 and REM AHI/NREM AHI>2 are defined as REM-related OSA. We investigated the efficacy of treatment on anxiety, depression and daytime sleepiness in REM-related OSA.
