Title: Effectiveness of Auto-adjusted Continuous Positive Airway Pressure for Long-term Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome
Brief Summary: Hypothesis: Computer controlled continuous positive airway pressure (autoCPAP) is equally effective in improving obstructive sleep apnea syndrome symptoms, breathing disturbances, objective vigilance, and it is cost-effective compared to conventional fixed continuous positive airway pressure.


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* Excessive sleepiness, and Epworth Sleepiness Score \> or = 8
* Apnea- Hypopnea-Index (AHI) \> or = 10/hour
* Age 18-75

Exclusion Criteria:

* Psychophysiological incapacity to perform questionnaires
* Other sleep disorders
* Psychiatric disease requiring treatment
* Previous CPAP therapy
* Previous uvulopalatopharyngoplasty
* Chronic nasal obstruction that required treatment for more than 1 month
* Cancer
* COPD, with FEV1 \< 50% predicted
* Symptomatic cardiovascular disease requiring treatment defined as congestive heart failure \> NYHA II
* Previous stroke with neurological residuum
* Cheyne-Stokes respiration
* Chronic pain syndromes, fibromyalgia
* Drug or alcohol addiction
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* patient with OSA (AHI ≥20 / h)
* patient with daytime sleepiness
* naive of any pressure treatment of OSA
* patient able to provide written informed consent
* not a vulnerable person or legally protected adult.

Exclusion Criteria:

* pregnancy
* Person deprived of liberty or subject to a legal protection measure.
* Patient with serious heart failure (According to investigator judgment)
* patient with central sleep apnea index above 20% of AHI
* Patient with a significant intercurrent pathology that can influence the results. (According to investigator judgment).
C: Inclusion Criteria:

* All subjects should be CPAP naïve.
* OSA confirmed with sleep study
* Presence of daytime symptoms with excessive daytime sleepiness
* Age between 18 to 65
* RDI greater than 30
* Agreed to participate in trial with informed consent signed

Exclusion Criteria:

* Patients not suitable to nasal CPAP because of facial abnormality leading to poor mask fitting.
* Patients with known COPD with type II failure
* Patients with known heart failure.
* Patients with predominant central sleep apnea.
* Patients need bilevel positive airway pressure ventilation.
* Patients refusing to participate the trial.
* Patients have difficulty to follow up regularly.
* patients with untreated or under treatment of hypothyroidism
D: Inclusion Criterion:

1. Age 21-75
2. New Diagnosis of OSA with a baseline RDI ≥ 15 events/hr of sleep determined by either full night or split night PSG
3. Able and willing to provide written informed consent
4. Able to follow study procedures
5. Sub-optimal PSG titration with at least 3 hours of attempted PAP titration (defined below): and deemed by their physician as a titration failure

Sub-optimal PSG titration: at least one of the following:

1. Poor sleep efficiency during titration period (sleep efficiency ≤ 70%) (participants may be on sleep medications as per standard lab CPAP protocol ) or;
2. Frequent arousals based on three seconds of alpha frequency on EEG (non PLM-related) of 20 or greater per hour during the titration portion of the study or;
3. CPAP titration aborted due to participant's request (due to intolerance), or
4. Persistent sleep disruption despite therapeutic CPAP therapy and in the judgment of the reviewing physician, suggesting a low probability to CPAP adherence

Exclusion Criterion:

1. Participation in another interventional research study within the last 30 days
2. Major uncontrolled medical or psychiatric condition such as congestive heart failure, neuromuscular disease, renal failure etc.
3. Prior CPAP or Bi-Level PAP use (within last 2 years)
4. Chronic respiratory failure or insufficiency, moderate COPD (FEV1 \< 60%), or any known condition of an elevation of arterial carbon dioxide levels while awake
5. Surgery of the upper airway, nose, sinus, or middle ear within the previous 90 days
6. Presence of an untreated, diagnosable, non-OSA related sleep disorder (e.g. restless legs syndrome, insomnia, etc.)
7. Periodic Limb movement arousal index of 10 or greater.
8. Refusal to consider further interventions to standard CPAP to optimize positive pressure therapy (e.g. different mask than what was used in lab)
9. PAP therapy otherwise medically complicated or contraindicated such as those with a difficult to size or adjust interface (mask) resulting in facial pain, skin irritation or trauma, or excessive air leaks
10. Shift workers or people experiencing jet lag
11. Known history of alcohol and or drug abuse
12. Diagnosis of Complex Sleep Apnea, (appears to be classic obstructive or mixed sleep apnea, but exhibits disruptive central apneas and periodic breathing on CPAP) 11, 12 or persistent central apnea during diagnostic PSG.
13. Diagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
14. Chronic Hypnotic use (nightly use for three months or less)
