Heavy snoring and apnoea linked to earlier mental decline.
20 APRIL 2015 Treating sleep issues may delay mental decline in adults, researchers say. Heavy snorers and people with sleep apnoea may be more likely to develop memory and thinking problems at younger ages than their well-rested peers, a new study suggests. Treatment with CPAP may delay mental decline The good news from the study is that treating sleep apnoea with a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine may delay mental decline. “Treatment may not cure the disease, but may delay the onset of memory problems,” said lead researcher Dr. Ricardo Osorio, a research assistant professor of psychiatry at New York …

In Resistant Hypertension, Sleep Apnea Results in Greater Blood Pressure and Treatment Lowers It.
Published on April 6, 2015 A new meta-analysis published in the Journal of Hypertension suggests that untreated sleep apnea may be a major factor in why medications appear to be less effective in reducing high blood pressure in some people. Further, the study shows that CPAP therapy may be the key to helping those with difficult to treat hypertension get their blood pressure under control. As many as 10 million people in the United States have “resistant hypertension” which either doesn’t respond to or requires multi-drug therapy. Most people with resistant hypertension also have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It’s a …
Can Orange Glasses Help You Sleep Better?
By KATE GALBRAITH / APRIL 6, 2015 Most evenings, before watching late-night comedy or reading emails on his phone, Matt Nicoletti puts on a pair of orange-colored glasses that he bought for $8 off the Internet. “My girlfriend thinks I look ridiculous in them,” he said. But Mr. Nicoletti, a 30-year-old hospitality consultant in Denver, insists that the glasses, which can block certain wavelengths of light emitted by electronic screens, make it easier to sleep. Studies have shown that such light, especially from the blue part of the spectrum, inhibits the body’s production of melatonin, a hormone that helps people fall asleep. Options …

WHAT SYDNEY LEROUX DOES TO HER NEW HUSBAND IF HE’S SNORING.
By D’Arcy Maine | Mar 16, 2015 Unless you’ve been living in an underground tunnel somewhere with no WiFi signal or cell service, you’re aware that soccer stars Sydney Leroux and Dom Dwyer were recently married. In fact, if you follow either of them on social media, you probably already know more about their relationship than that of people you — GASP — actually know IRL. And just when you thought you knew everything about their lives, Leroux documented her new husband’s annoying sleep habit and maybe her attempt at killing him. So that’s a new development. After having her …

Mar 11, 2015 11:57 AM By Chris Weller The risks of sleep deprivation look eerily similar to the risks of alcohol intoxication, and both are bad when driving a car is involved. Chris Waits, CC BY 2.0 New evidence adds to the already compelling case that driving a car while not properly rested produces similar risks as driving drunk. The recent study was published in the journal Sleep and found people with obstructive sleep apnea were 2.5 times more likely to be the driver in an accident than people without the sleep disorder. Fortunately, the study also found continuous positive …
