Sleep deprivation doubles risks of obesity in both children and adults
Research by Warwick Medical School at the University of Warwick has found that sleep deprivation is associated with an almost a two-fold increased risk of being obese for both children and adults. view more (2006-07-13)
Less than half of older Americans get the recommended 8 hours of nightly sleep
Older Americans with depressive symptoms and poor mental health tend to get seven hours of sleep per night or less. view more (2009-06-10)
Changes in sex steroids associated with menopause
A study in the Oct. 1 issue of the journal Sleep shows that the increased rate of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) change that occurs during menopause is associated with increased objective sleep duration but poor subjective sleep quality. view more (2008-10-01)
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)
Sleep apnea a stand-alone mortality risk
An independent link between sleep apnea and mortality has been discovered by a group of Australian researchers, suggesting the prevention and treatment of this condition should be a higher priority for government bodies working to improve community health. view more (2008-08-04)
Chronic insomnia with short sleep duration is a significant risk factor for hypertension
A study in the April 1 issue of the journal SLEEP is the first to demonstrate that chronic insomnia with objectively measured short sleep time is an independent and clinically significant risk factor for hypertension. view more (2009-04-01)
Sleep enforces the temporal sequence in memory
We have usually quite strong memories of past events like an exciting holiday or a jolly birthday party. However it is not clear how the brain keeps track of the temporal sequence in such memories: did Paul spill a glass of wine before or after Mary left the party? view more (2007-04-18)
REM sleep associated with overweight in children and adolescents
Short sleep time is associated with overweight in children and adolescents, a core aspect of which may be attributed to reduced REM sleep, according to a research abstract that will be presented on Thursday at SLEEP 2008, the 22nd Annual Meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies (APSS). view more (2008-06-12)

Physicians report they need more sleep
In a new survey, physicians report they are not getting the sleep they need to function at their best and current work schedules may contribute to their inadequate sleep. view more (2008-03-04)
Mammals that hibernate or burrow less likely to go extinct
The best way to survive the ill-effects of climate change and pollution may be to simply sleep through it. view more (2009-01-29)
Link between a sleep-related breathing disorder and increased heart rate variability
A sleep-related breathing disorder, common in heart failure, increases one's heart rate variability. Further, central sleep apnea (CSA) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) produce different patterns of heart rate variability, which are likely to reflect the different pathophysiological mechanisms involved. view more (2007-11-01)
Sleep apnea increases risk of diabetes and hypertension in pregnant women
Sleep apnea is associated with a greatly increased incidence of pregnancy-induced diabetes and high blood pressure. view more (2007-05-23)
Sleep restriction results in increased consumption of energy from snacks
Bedtime restriction in an environment that promotes overeating and inactivity is accompanied by increased intake of calories from snacks. view more (2008-06-11)
Underlying sleep problem linked to attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder in children
A study in the March 1 issue of the journal SLEEP suggests the presence of an intrinsic sleep problem specific to attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and supports the idea that children with ADHD may be chronically sleep deprived and have abnormal REM sleep. view more (2009-03-02)
Video imaging provides dynamic view of airway obstruction in those with sleep breathing disorder
A video imaging technique demonstrates that the soft palate, the tissue at the back of the roof of the mouth, is more elongated and angled in patients with obstructive sleep apnea both when they sleep and when they are awake, according to a report in the February issue of Archives of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery, one of the JAMA/Archives... view more...

Study Helps Explain Connection Between Sleep Apnea, Stroke And Death
Obstructive sleep apnea decreases blood flow to the brain, elevates blood pressure within the brain and eventually harms the brain's ability to modulate these changes and prevent damage to itself, according to a new study published by The American Physiological Society. view more (2009-01-06)
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)
Sleep problems linked to obesity, lower quality of life in school-aged children
A research abstract that will be presented on Tuesday at SLEEP 2008, the 22nd Annual Meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies (APSS), finds an increased prevalence of sleep problems among school-aged children who are obese and an association between increased weight and lower quality of life. view more (2008-06-10)
