Find Out How Sleepy You Really Are?
Often, we don’t realize how much our lack of sleep impacts our lives. Take our sleep quiz to find out just how bad your symptoms may be.
How Does Inspire Work?
Inspire is a small device that’s implanted during an outpatient procedure in which only three small incisions are made. The device works by sending small impulses that work to keep your tongue and tissues in your mouth from obstructing your airway. You turn the device on with a remote each night before you go to sleep.
You will work with your doctor to make sure that the device is working properly and to fine-tune the settings to fit your needs.
