About this study

This study will use a modified version of a positive airway pressure device to supply air to the participant, while undergoing supervised polysomnography. Positive airway pressures are typically applied to many patients with hypoventilation, in this study these pressures will be titrated by a qualified sleep technician. During the night these pressures will be altered to optimise comfort.
