The strength of participants tongue will be measured and participants will be shown how to perform tongue training exercises using a special device. Participants will be given instructions on how to perform a workout for the tongue. Each day once in the morning (am) and once in the afternoon/evening (pm), participants will train with the device and have a "tongue workout" that lasts about 10 minutes.
Therefore, participants will work out about 20 minutes a day for 6 weeks.

Tongue Protrusion Force: A Pilot Study

RDI (the sum of apneas, hypopneas, and milder, more subtle sleep disruptions known as respiratory effort related arousals, or RERAs, that can still lead to sleep fragmentation).

The investigators will be monitoring the tongue protrusion force max each day for six weeks to see what changes, if any occur.

The investigators will measure AHI during the pre-screen and post screen to see what changes, if any, occur due to the six weeks of tongue training.

To determine if regular exercise of the GG muscle increases the maximum tongue protrusive force (TPFmax) and increases the duration over which the tongue is capable of exerting sub-maximal (threshold of 50% of baseline TPFmax) protrusive force (dur50%).
