Inclusion Criteria:
* Age 50 years and older
* Diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea
* On stable, effective, and compliant CPAP therapy for a minimum of 6 months
* Willing and able to provide informed consent
* Willing and able to use automated manual lymphatic drainage device (Neuroglide) nightly for 1-month and participate in at-home sleep monitoring
* Stable on a medication regimen for comorbid medical or mental health disorders for at least 3 months and not planning to undergo therapy adjustment during trial
Exclusion Criteria:
* Chronic kidney disease (glomerular filtration rate (GFR) \< 60 mL/min/1.73 m² for 3 months or more), due to its potential impact on serum biomarker clearance
* Other primary sleep disorders aside from OSA (i.e., narcolepsy, REM Sleep behavior disorder, chronic insomnia, restless legs syndrome), circadian rhythm disorder or shift work
* Chronic neurological disorders (e.g. Multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, neurodegenerative disorders, ALS), due to their impact on biomarkers. History of headache (\<15 days a month) and stroke (over 6 months prior to enrollment) are allowed
* Physical limitations preventing the use of Neuroglide device (e.g. inability to lay on the back due to pain, inability to setup the device due to limb dysfunction/weakness)
* Physical limitations preventing the use or function of Somfit, including forehead skin lesions, history of adhesive allergies, implanted electronic devices (e.g. pacemakers) or the use of CPAP masks with fā¦
