Hello,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.
Alpha waves in Electroencephalogram in sleep test indicates calm and wakeful state.
Treatment depends upon the type of sleep disorder and response by patient ranging from from few weeks to months.
CPAP ( Continuous positive Airway pressure ) is one of the usual treatment for sleep disorders like sleep apnea.
Hope this helps.
Please reply for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
