Sleep apnea is more than just snoring—it’s a serious medical condition that can quietly sabotage your health and quality of life. If left untreated, sleep apnea can lead to:
- Heart disease and stroke
- High blood pressure and diabetes
- Increased risk of accidents due to daytime fatigue
As sleep apnea experts, we offer comprehensive care tailored to your needs, including CPAP therapy, oral appliances, and insomnia therapy. Our goal is simple: help you breathe better, sleep deeper, and live longer.
What Is Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. The most common form, Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), occurs when throat muscles relax and block the airway. Central Sleep Apnea (CSA) is less common and results from the brain failing to signal breathing muscles properly.
Common Sleep Apnea Symptoms
If you experience any of the following, you may have sleep apnea:
- Loud, chronic snoring
- Gasping or choking during sleep
- Morning headaches
- Excessive daytime sleepiness
- Difficulty concentrating or memory issues

Why Sleep Apnea Therapy Matters
Untreated sleep apnea doesn’t just disrupt your sleep—it can wreak havoc on your entire body. Chronic oxygen deprivation stresses your cardiovascular system, increases inflammation, and impairs cognitive function.

Health Risks of Untreated Sleep Apnea:
| Condition | Impact on Health |
| Heart Disease & Stroke | Increased risk due to oxygen fluctuations |
| High Blood Pressure | Elevated due to nighttime stress responses |
| Type 2 Diabetes | Linked to insulin resistance and poor sleep |
| Accidents | Fatigue-related errors in driving or work |
Our Sleep Therapy Solutions
We take a personalized approach to sleep care. After a thorough sleep evaluation, we recommend the most effective treatment based on your diagnosis, symptoms, and lifestyle. Our goal is to help you sleep better and live healthier.
1. CPAP Therapy
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is the gold standard for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). By delivering a steady stream of air through a mask, the CPAP machine keeps your airway open, reducing snoring, improving oxygen levels, and restoring restful, restorative sleep.

2. Oral Appliance Therapy
For mild to moderate sleep apnea—or for patients who cannot tolerate CPAP—custom oral appliances are a discreet and portable solution. These devices gently reposition the jaw and tongue to keep the airway open, improving sleep quality and supporting long-term heart health.

3. Insomnia Treatment with CBT-I
Not all sleep problems are caused by apnea. Many people struggle with insomnia, a condition that makes it difficult to fall asleep, stay asleep, or wake feeling refreshed.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is a proven, medication-free approach that:
- Restores healthy sleep patterns
- Reduces reliance on sleep aids
- Addresses the root causes of insomnia
CBT-I is delivered by certified sleep therapists using techniques such as sleep consolidation, stimulus control, and cognitive restructuring—helping you retrain your brain and body for better sleep.

FAQ: Sleep Apnea Therapy
Q: What does CPAP stand for?
A: CPAP stands for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. A CPAP machine delivers a constant stream of air through a mask to keep your airway open while you sleep. It is the most effective treatment for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), helping reduce snoring, improve oxygen levels, and promote restorative sleep. Using a CPAP consistently supports better overall health and daytime energy.
Q: How do I know if I have sleep apnea?
A: Sleep apnea often goes undiagnosed because its symptoms happen while you’re asleep. Common signs include loud, persistent snoring, gasping or choking during sleep, frequent awakenings, morning headaches, and excessive daytime fatigue. You may also notice difficulty concentrating, mood changes, or falling asleep during the day.
At Resolve Sleep Health, we make testing simple and accessible:
- Across most provinces: We offer Home Sleep Apnea Tests (HSATs), an easy, comfortable way to monitor your breathing, oxygen, and sleep patterns overnight in your own bed.
- In Ontario: Patients are typically diagnosed using an in-lab Polysomnography test (PSG), which provides a detailed analysis of sleep stages, breathing patterns, and other key health metrics.
Q: Is CPAP the only treatment option?
A: No. While CPAP is highly effective, oral appliances and lifestyle changes can also be successful, especially for mild to moderate cases.
Q: Can sleep apnea be cured?
A: Sleep apnea can often be managed effectively, but it’s rarely “cured.” Weight loss and surgery may reduce symptoms, but ongoing therapy is usually needed.
Q: What happens if I ignore sleep apnea?
A: Ignoring sleep apnea increases your risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and accidents. It also severely impacts your energy, mood, and cognitive function.
Q: Is CPAP therapy or oral appliance therapy covered by insurance?
A: Many insurance plans cover CPAP therapy and oral appliances when prescribed by a sleep specialist. Check with your provider for specific coverage details.
