Summary

This trial is testing the eXciteOSA device, which uses electrical pulses to help people with mild obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The device aims to treat snoring and mild OSA by toning the tongue muscles through electrical stimulation while awake. The study aims to see if people use the device consistently and if different levels of electrical stimulation are more effective. Researchers also want to know if it improves sleepiness and quality of life.
