Assignment:

In your words.

Most physicians would say that patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea should be given a trial of CPAP therapy. Most patients report an improvement in overall health and, on average, a small decrease in blood pressure. The data for patients with mild or moderate sleep apnea is less persuasive. And patients with loud snoring but little or no apnea are often brought to the sleep center by bed partners who are kept awake by the noise. If you are a sleep medicine specialist, what would you advise for mild or moderate obstructive sleep apnea patients? Support your recommendation with evidence.
