The purpose of this research study is to determine if muscle training will improve snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. Subjects will receive a sleep study to determine the severity of their apnea. After this study, subjects will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. The first group will receiving a breathing trainer that may strengthen the muscles used to breath in and out. The second group will be receive a sham trainer which looks like the "real" trainer but is not able to produce a strengthening effect.
