Breathing disorders during sleep are common among asthmatics, may help predict severe asthma
When asthmatics are awake, they can turn to their inhalers to open their airways. But when they sleep, many of them continue to struggle with breathing - and an understanding of their sleep-related problems may help doctors better diagnose and treat their patients' asthma, according to new University of Michigan Health System research. view more (2005-05-25)
Severe sleep apnea tied to increased risk of death
Moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea is associated with an increased risk of death from any cause in middle-aged adults, especially men, according to new results from a landmark study supported by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). view more (2009-08-18)
Israeli study finds obstructive sleep apnea is health factor from day 1
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in very young children may cause some of the adverse cardiovascular health consequences seen in older children and adults with the condition. view more (2008-05-21)
Daytime impairments in older men with obstructive sleep apnea are related to total sleep time
A study in the Feb. 1 issue of the journal SLEEP shows that daytime functional impairments in older men with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are largely explained by total sleep time rather than OSA severity. view more (2009-02-02)
Eye conditions linked with obstructive sleep apnea
If a good night's sleep helps the brain and body perform better, it's a good guess that sleep problems can cause more than just fatigue. Numerous studies have shown a connection between sleep disorders and medical conditions such as cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, and metabolic disorders, including the risk of obesity and diabetes... view more...

Penn researchers find many commercial drivers have impaired performance due to lack of sleep
Truck drivers who routinely get too little sleep or suffer from sleep apnea show signs of fatigue and impaired performance that can make them a hazard on the road. view more (2006-08-15)
Patients treated for OSA at an AASM accredited sleep center more likely to adhere to CPAP
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a major public health problem that, if untreated, can be deadly. Despite the proven reliability of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in treating OSA, resistance and intolerance to CPAP poses limitations to its use. view more (2007-06-12)
Can Snoring Ruin a Marriage?
The husband snores. The wife nudges him to flip over. Both wake up feeling grouchy the next morning. It's a common occurrence that may have more of an impact on the marriage than most couples think. view more (2006-02-02)
Low-income patients with obstructive sleep apnea are less likely to start CPAP therapy
A study in the April 1 issue of the journal SLEEP demonstrates that low socioeconomic status independently predicts the poor acceptance of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy for obstructive sleep apnea, and patients with higher incomes are more likely to begin treatment. view more (2009-04-01)
New research helps overcome major CPAP problem
For the first time, a group based cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) intervention has been demonstrated to markedly increase acceptance and adherence to CPAP treatment for sufferers of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). view more (2007-05-14)
Sleep apnea treatment benefits the heart
Patients with obstructive sleep apnea have enlarged and thickened hearts that pump less effectively, but the heart abnormalities improve with use of a device that helps patients breathe better during sleep. view more (2006-03-31)
Patients with sleep apnea should avoid driving after poor sleep or consuming alcohol
Patients with undiagnosed or untreated obstructive sleep apnea are especially vulnerable to the effects of sleep deprivation and even legal doses of alcohol when it comes to lowered driving performance and increased risk of vehicular accidents. view more (2009-05-20)
Usage of CAM therapies high among those with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome
A high proportion of patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) report previous or current use, and interest in future use, of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) therapies. view more (2007-10-15)
Treatment of obstructive sleep apnea with CPAP may lower blood pressure
Treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) may also lower blood pressure among hypertensive adults, according to researchers in Spain. view more (2008-05-19)
Drug cuts sleep apnea in heart failure patients
Since sleep apnea is associated with heart failure, patients who take a single dose of acetazolamide-a mild diuretic and respiratory stimulant-before going to bed exhibit less sleep apnea, improved blood oxygen levels and fewer daytime symptoms of sleepiness. view more (2006-01-16)
Nasal surgery associated with improvements in quality of life for those with sleep apnea
Nasal surgery to remove obstructions from the airway is associated with improvements in quality of life for patients with obstructive sleep apnea and symptoms of nasal blockages. view more (2008-04-22)
Long and short sleep durations are associated with increased risk for diabetes
According to a research abstract that will be presented on Monday, June 8, at SLEEP 2009, the 23rd Annual Meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies, both long and short sleepers are at greater risk for diabetes. Individuals sleeping for more than eight hours per night may be particularly vulnerable. view more (2009-06-08)
Neurological effects of childhood sleep apnea
In this study, Ann Halbower and colleagues from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine looked at 19 children aged 6-16 y with OSA and compared them with 12 healthy controls. view more (2006-08-22)
Obesity linked to dangerous sleep apnea in truck drivers
Truck crashes are a significant public health hazard causing thousands of deaths and injuries each year, with driver fatigue and sleepiness being major causes. view more (2009-03-11)
Husbands with OSA are more likely to adhere to CPAP if their wives share the bed
Although continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) controls a husband's sleep-related obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) symptoms, his treatment adherence is strongly related to his wife sharing the bed, according to a study published in the April 15 issue of the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine (JCSM). view more (2008-04-15)
