Abnormal breathing during sleep may cause behavioral difficulties in kids
Young children with sleep-disordered breathing are prone to developing behavioral difficulties such as hyperactivity and aggressiveness, as well as emotional symptoms and difficulty with peer relationships.

Poor sleep leads to health and behavior problems in young diabetics
Young diabetics may be struggling to get a good night's sleep, resulting in worse control of their blood sugar, poorer school performance and misbehavior, according to a study appearing in the January edition of the journal Sleep.

New therapy for obstructive sleep apnea and snoring
Snoring may be an irritating phenomenon depriving you of good sleep. It can signal sleep apnea and may lead to even a heart attack.

Sleep apnea OSA decreases frequency of nightmare recall
Patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) report a significantly lower frequency of nightmares than patients with mild or no sleep apnea, indicating that OSA suppresses the cognitive experience of nightmare recall.

Obesity increases the risk for obstructive sleep apnea
Being overweight or obese increases the risk for developing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in adolescents but not in younger children, revealed by researchers.

Ecstasy use may lead to sleep apnea
Recreational users of the drug known as ecstasy may be at a higher risk for sleep apnea, revealed by researchers.

Sleep apnea increases 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, revealed by researchers.

Race and short sleep increase obesity risk
According to a research presented on Monday, June 8, at SLEEP 2009, the 23rd Annual Meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies, race significantly influences the risk of obesity conferred by short sleep duration, with blacks having a greater risk than whites.

Sleep aid increases CPAP adherence in sleep apnea patients
New research suggests that patients newly diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who use a short-course of the sleep aid, eszopiclone, when beginning continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy, are more adherent with therapy in six months.

Losing weight can cure obstructive sleep apnea in overweight
Losing weight is perhaps the single most effective way to reduce obstructive sleep apnea OSA symptoms and associated disorders in sufferers of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

Breathing problems during sleep linked to calories burned at rest
Individuals with sleep-related breathing disorders appear to burn more calories when resting as their conditions become more severe, according to a report in the December issue of Archives of Otolaryngology–Head & Neck Surgery, one of the JAMA/Archives journals.

People with sleep apnea have a high mortality risk
People with severe sleep apnea have a much higher mortality risk than people without sleep apnea, and this risk increases when sleep apnea is untreated.

Daytime dozing increases stroke risk in elderly
Regular daytime dozing forewarns of a significantly increased risk of stroke in older Americans, researchers reported at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2008.

Sleep disordered breathing affects obese children
As the obesity epidemic grows in the U.S., doctors are discovering more and more far reaching health concerns for overweight children. Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), which can include various sleep behaviors ranging in severity from snoring to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), disproportionately affects children who are overweight and African- American, according to a new study published in the December 2007 edition of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery.
