Caption
A sleep researcher at National Jewish Health in Denver monitors a patient who is sleeping without a CPAP mask, which is commonly used to treat sleep apnea. In a recent pilot study, experts showed patients video of themselves struggling to breathe during the night without their CPAP masks. After watching the dramatic, often disturbing videos, patient usage of CPAP masks increased considerably.
