Claim 14:
15. A method for treating a sleep disorder or a breathing disorder of a patient, the method comprising:
providing an implantable neuromodulation device housing between a mylohyoid muscle and a digastric muscle in a submental triangular region of the patient;
coupling the implantable neuromodulation device housing to first tissue in the submental triangular region of the patient, wherein the device housing encloses a signal generator circuit and a power storage circuit;
electrically coupling an electrode of a first electrode lead to the signal generator circuit inside the device housing;
coupling the electrode to a first cranial nerve target in or adjacent to the submental triangular region of the patient; and
