Claim 0:
1. A method for treating a sleep disorder or a breathing disorder of a patient, the method comprising:
providing an implantable neuromodulation device housing in an anterior cervical region of a patient between a mylohyoid muscle of the patient and a digastric muscle of the patient;
coupling the implantable neuromodulation device housing to first tissue in the anterior cervical region of the patient;
providing a first electrode lead, coupled to a portion of the device housing and to signal generator circuitry inside the device housing, at or near a first cranial nerve target in the patient, wherein the signal generator circuitry is coupled to power storage circuitry that is inside the device housing;
coupling the first electrode lead to second tissue in the anterior cervical region of the patient; and
applying a first neuromodulation signal to the first cranial nerve target using first electrical signals from the signal generator circuitry and using electrodes of the first electrode lead, wherein the first electrical signals are configured to treat the sleep disorder or breathing disorder of the patient.
