These findings were most evident among women. view more (2008-10-15)

A study in the Aug. 15 issue of the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine shows that adults with Down syndrome also frequently suffer from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). view more (2009-08-17)
Less costly, more accessible and as effective: Simplified treatment for sleep apnea
Diagnosing and treating obstructive sleep apnea may soon become much less expensive and arduous, thanks to new research showing that a simplified program using experienced nurses, home ambulatory diagnosis and auto-titrating continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines to titrate CPAP pressures is not inferior to the traditional model which... view more...

Treating sleep disorders in people with traumatic brain injury may not eliminate symptoms
A study in the April 15 issue of the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine is the first to assess the effectiveness of treating sleep disorders in adults with a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Results indicate that treatment may result in the objective resolution of the sleep disorder without improvements in daytime sleepiness or neuropsychological... view more... (2009-04-15)
Breathing Support Reduces Blood Pressure For People With Sleep Apnoea (p 204)
A reduction in blood pressure-and in the probable risk of stroke and other cardiovascular disease-could be possible for patients treated with nocturnal breathing support for sleep apnoea, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Obstructive sleep apnoea is a serious condition in which airflow from the nose and mouth to the... view more... (2002-01-17)
Growth hormone, obesity can trigger sleep apnea in some kids
Growth hormone helps hundreds of children with a rare disorder that causes them to gorge on food, but for some, starting treatment can worsen a dangerous nighttime breathing problem. view more (2006-01-18)

Individuals with insomnia and objective short sleep duration are at increased risk for developing diabetes. view more (2009-06-09)
Longer Treatment Benefits Sleep Apnea Patients
Adults with obstructive sleep apnea benefit significantly from longer nightly use of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), a device to improve breathing during sleep. view more (2007-06-08)
Waist size and body mass index are risk factors for sleep disordered breathing in children
A study in the June 1 issue of the journal SLEEP found that waist circumference and body mass index (BMI) are consistent, independent risk factors for all severity levels of sleep disordered breathing (SDB) in children, suggesting that as with adult SDB, metabolic factors are important risk factors for childhood SDB. view more (2009-06-01)
Study shows that surgical weight loss does not eliminate obstructive sleep apnea
A study in the August 15 issue of the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine shows that surgical weight loss results in an improvement of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), but most patients continue to have moderate to severe OSA one year after undergoing bariatric surgery. view more (2008-08-15)
Link found between poor sleep quality and increased risk of death
Quality, in addition to quantity, is important for maintaining health, according to a research abstract that will be presented on Wednesday, June 10, at SLEEP 2009, the 23rd Annual Meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies. view more (2009-06-10)
Surgery Improves Quality of Life for Children with Sleep Apnea, SLU Study Finds
For children who suffer from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy can provide dramatic relief and is successful in solving sleep problems for 80 to 90 percent of children, a Saint Louis University study found. view more (2008-02-13)
New study in the journal Sleep finds that catathrenia can be successfully treated with CPAP
Catathrenia, or sleep related groaning, is an uncommon feature of a sleep-related breathing disorder that can be successfully treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). view more (2008-01-02)
Actigraphy is a useful way to assess and manage sleep disorders
Actigraphy, the use of a portable device that records movement over extended periods of time, and has been used extensively in the study of sleep and circadian rhythms, provides an acceptably accurate estimate of sleep patterns in normal, healthy adult populations and in-patients suspected of certain sleep disorders. view more (2007-04-02)
Journal Sleep: OSA increasingly associated with cardiovascular disease
Cardiovascular disease can pose a threat to both men and women. While a diet rich in fat and high in cholesterol as well as lack of exercise can contribute to cardiovascular disease, a study published in the March 1st issue of the journal SLEEP finds that people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are at an increased risk of having cardiovascular... view more...

Complaints of fatigue and tiredness in people with OSA improve with CPAP treatment
A study in the June 15 issue of the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine shows that the complaints of fatigue and tiredness in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) improved significantly with good adherence to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy, suggesting that - like the symptom of excessive daytime sleepiness - these... view more...

Insomnia with objective short sleep duration in men is associated with increased mortality
Men with insomnia and sleep duration of six or fewer hours of nightly sleep are at an increased risk for mortality. view more (2009-06-08)
Drug cuts sleep apnea in heart failure patients
