Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this research is to assess how well people with mild obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) adhere to the eXciteOSA device and specifically examine whether adherence of the device is different with low versus high electrical stimulation. In addition, this research study will assess how well the device affects mild sleep apnea and if it improves sleepiness and quality of life.
