Therapy Summary
Inspire therapy is only used when you are sleeping. You will
turn your therapy off during the day.
When you are preparing to go to sleep, you will use your
sleep remote to turn your therapy on. You will feel a brief
stimulation confirming that therapy has been turned on.
After the confirmation, stimulation is delayed so you have
time to fall asleep.
