A common sleep apnea treatment mighty carry additional benefits on top of just assisting sleep function a new study shows. An obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) treatment has been shown to help increase energy in individuals suffering from sleep apnea.

The treatment method of continuous positive airway pressure, or CPAP, was shown as an effective method to increase energy for people suffering from sleep apnea or sleep apnea related symptoms.

Sleep apnea typically occurs because an individual pauses breathing, usually while sleeping, causing an obstruction of airflow and often causing interrupted or poor sleep.
