   Proposal Description:
   We are looking to investigate the role of age in untreated vs treated sleep       apnea as it applies to neuropsychological functioning and daily life              functioning. Our study aims to determine if sleep apnea differs in nuanced ways   on these outcome variables as compared to other sleep disorders. This may         provide evidence that hypoxia episodes are to blame for the decreased             functioning in these patients over and above what might be expected by just       sleep deprivation.
