🌿 Enhances overall sleep efficiency.
🌿Reduces daytime sleepiness Treats the repeated oxygen drops caused by OSA.

🌿 Promotes stable sleep architecture, improving alertness.
🌿 Reduces the risk of accidents due to somnolence.
🌿 Improves cognitive function and mood.
🌿Lowers risk of stroke OSA increases cardiovascular strain, raising stroke risk.
🌿 CPAP improves oxygenation, relieving vascular stress.
🌿 Consistent nighttime ventilation reduces blood pressure spikes.
🌿 Helps maintain better cerebral perfusion.
🌿 Evidence links CPAP to reduced ischemic events.
🌿Prevents hypertension OSA causes sympathetic overactivation, elevating BP.
🌿 CPAP decreases nighttime vasoconstriction.
🌿 Improves overall hemodynamic stability. 🌿 Reduces episodes of nocturnal hypoxemia.
🌿 Long-term use correlates with improved blood pressure control.
