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)
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)
Mayo clinic discovers new type of sleep apnea
Researchers at Mayo Clinic have identified a new type of sleep apnea they call "complex sleep apnea." The findings will be published in the September issue of the journal Sleep. view more (2006-09-01)
Violent sleep disorder linked to a form of dementia
Mayo Clinic researchers and a group of international collaborators have discovered a correlation between an extreme form of sleep disorder and eventual onset of parkinsonism or dementia. view more (2007-05-17)
Nasal cannula may be viable treatment for sufferers of sleep apnea
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University have found that symptoms in patients with obstructive sleep apnea and hypopnea can be significantly reduced through treatment with nasal insufflation (TNI), using a nasal cannula to deliver warm, humidified air at a high flow rate. view more (2007-07-16)
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...

Sleep apnea increases risk of heart attack or death by 30 percent
The nighttime breathing disorder known as obstructive sleep apnea increases a person's risk of having a heart attack or dying by 30% over a period of four to five years. view more (2007-05-21)
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 apnea may increase risk of diabetes
Researchers at the Yale University School of Medicine have found that patients with obstructive sleep apnea are at increased risk for developing of type II diabetes. view more (2007-05-21)
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)
Study explains why patients with OSA are at higher risk for cardiovascular disease
Researchers have found that patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) have higher levels of a type of dead cells (apoptotic cells) from the lining (endothelium) of their blood vessels circulating in their bloodstream than people who do not have OSA. view more (2007-06-01)
CPAP improves sleep in patients with Alzheimer's disease, sleep-related breathing disorder
Patients with both Alzheimer disease and a sleep-related breathing disorder (SRBD) experience disrupted sleep, resulting in increased nocturnal awakenings and a decreased percentage of REM sleep. view more (2007-06-11)
Treating obstructive sleep apnea, preventing heart attacks and strokes
Researchers in Brazil have found that treating patients who suffer from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) dramatically reduces early indications of atherosclerosis in just months, linking OSA directly to the hardening or narrowing of the arteries. Until now, no study has demonstrated such a direct... view more... (2007-09-28)
Study shows heavy snoring is an independent risk factor for carotid atherosclerosis
A study in the Sept. 1 issue of the journal Sleep shows that objectively measured heavy snoring is an independent risk factor for early carotid atherosclerosis, which may progress to be associated with stroke. view more (2008-09-02)
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)
Educating OSA patients about CPAP critical to successful treatment
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a chronic condition in which enhancement of patient self-efficacy is critical for long-term management. view more (2007-06-13)
AASM encourages those student-athletes at risk for developing osa to visit a sleep clinic
For most children and teens, the beginning of a new school year is just around the corner. Not only will they be hitting the books again after a three-month-long summer break, but many of them will also participate in after-school activities. view more (2007-08-27)
Losing weight can cure obstructive sleep apnea in overweight patients
For sufferers of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a new study shows that losing weight is perhaps the single most effective way to reduce OSA symptoms and associated disorders, according to a new study in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, one of the American Thoracic Society's three peer-reviewed journals. view more (2009-02-06)
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)
Treating sleep disorders would reduce risk of serious motor vehicle crashes
Sleep related accidents comprise 15-20% of all motor vehicle crashes, resulting in thousands of serious injuries and death. Yet a study published in Thorax confirms that treatment of patients with sleep apnoea would reduce their risk of serious motor vehicle crashes to a rate similar to the general driving population. Over 200 patients with... view more... (2001-06-14)
