Participants were recently diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnoea and had undergone continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) titration, but had not yet initiated CPAP treatment. Exclusion criteria included apnoea—hypopnoea index >50 events/h, type 2 diabetes, severe hypertension (blood pressure >160/100 mmHg), and any recent near-miss or prior auto accidents. BMI: body mass index; AHI: apnoea—hypopnoea index; ESS: Epworth Sleepiness Scale.
