Abstract

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an exhausting sleep disorder regulating an individual's routine life. It is the most common type of sleep-disordered breathing and is characterized by recurrent episodes of upper airway collapse during sleep. Besides, several studies are performed to prove the efficacy of lifestyle strategies to resolute OSA in adults. Reducing weight, quitting alcohol and smoking, eating a nutritional diet, and exercising are the modifications to benefit people. This review aims to expand our knowledge of the association between alterations to comportment and better treatment outcomes for sleep apnea.
