Sleep Therapy
Beyond CPAP
If CPAP hasn't worked for you — or you want to explore alternatives before starting — Stuart Sleep offers personalized sleep therapy backed by real in-lab data.
Meet POxT — a different kind of sleep apnea therapy.
POxT — Positional Oxygenated Therapy. Gentle angular positioning opens your airway; supplemental oxygen keeps your levels steady all night. No mask. No hose. No forced air.
| What it asks of you | POxT | Standard CPAP |
|---|---|---|
| On your face | A soft nasal cannula | A sealed mask and headgear |
| How air moves | Your own breathing, plus oxygen | Pressurized air, forced in |
| Moving in bed | Turn, talk, get up freely | Tethered to a bedside hose |
| Side effects | No dryness, bloating or sores | Dry mouth, bloating, leaks, sores |
| Noise | Silent for you and your partner | Machine hum and mask leak |
| Upkeep | Minimal | Daily cleaning, supply schedule |
Measured in our lab — 30 patients, full in-lab studies
Your in-lab data shows whether POxT is a fit.
HSA/FSA accepted · Financing as low as $50/mo with approved credit
POxT is provided at Stuart Sleep under the order of a board-certified sleep physician. For some patients with severe sleep apnea, POxT may be part of a broader plan rather than a full replacement for CPAP — we'll tell you honestly what your data shows.
CPAP Doesn't Work for Everyone
If CPAP hasn't worked for you, you're not out of options — and you're far from alone. Most of the people who come to us have already tried CPAP and stopped, and the research bears that out: studies have found that up to half of people prescribed CPAP are no longer using it consistently within a year. Mask discomfort, pressure intolerance, claustrophobia, dry mouth, bloating — the side effects add up, and nightly use becomes impossible. Too often, that's where the conversation ends.
Common Reasons People Struggle with CPAP
- Mask discomfort or leaks
- Claustrophobia or anxiety
- Dry mouth or nasal congestion
- Difficulty tolerating air pressure
- Noise disturbing your partner
- Travel inconvenience
If any of this sounds familiar, a sleep study is where we start.
Other Therapy Paths
If POxT Isn't the Right Fit
POxT is the right answer for many people, but not for every one of them. The most severe cases often need a combined approach, and some people come to us simply wanting a second look at a prior study — or at a device that isn't working. Your sleep study tells us which of these you need.
Combination Therapy
For people whose apnea is too severe for POxT alone, or who still use CPAP or BiPAP, our positional and oxygen-based methods can be layered onto existing therapy.
- Works with existing CPAP/BiPAP equipment
- Can lower the pressure some people need
- Verified with in-lab data
Second Look & Re-Scoring
Already had a sleep study, or started a therapy that isn't working? We re-score your raw polysomnography data epoch by epoch and send it for independent board-certified sleep physician review, so your findings and therapy plan rest on complete data.
- Full re-scoring of raw PSG data
- Review of HST and in-lab studies
- Evaluation of CPAP/BiPAP titrations
- Independent physician interpretation
