The overall purpose of this study is to compare changes in sleep outcomes in people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) depending on their participation in one of two behavioral interventions; both involve drinking water and breathing. A second purpose is to compare outcomes between people who have sustained a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and those with no history of TBI. The main questions it aims to answer are whether sleep quality improves after 3-months of high-resistance versus low-resistance exercises, and whether people have different outcomes depending on their history of TBI.
