Bruxism, the medical term for the grinding of teeth during sleep, is prevalent in Caucasians with sleep disorders, a study has found. There is a high prevalence of nocturnal teeth grinding, or bruxism, in patients with obstructive sleep apnea, particularly in Caucasians.
A child with a migraine headache is more likely to suffer from sleep disorders, such as obstructive sleep apnea and lack of sleep, than children without migraines, according to a research abstract on the effects of headaches on children’s sleep patterns presented at Sleep 2008, the 22nd Annual Meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies.
For this study, 90 children with headache and sleep problems underwent a polysomnogram, a sleep test that monitors the brain, eye movements, muscle activity, heart rhythm, and breathing.

For this study, 90 children with headache and sleep problems underwent a polysomnogram, a sleep test that monitors the brain, eye movements, muscle activity, heart rhythm, and breathing. Of the participants, 60 had a migraine, 11 had a chronic daily headache, six had a tension headache and 13 had a non-specific headache.
On July 9, 2007 Nancy Grace, the former prosecutor-turned-talk-show-host, made a large error that has cause an uproar in the patient sector of the sleep community. The professional sector, primarily sleep physicians and many sleep-related organizations, have remained silent.
Grace’s show was about the 2006 death of former World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) wrestler Mike Durham, saying, in her words, that sleep apnea is basically snoring, and you know, not breathing for a few seconds periodically through the night. You don`t die of sleep apnea. That is complete BS.

As of May 2, 2009 at 9:47 p.m. (-0500) (ET), the U.S. population
was 306,340,710. Sleep researchers estimate approximately seven percent
of the population suffers from obstructive sleep apnea. Using that
estimate, there are potentially 21,443,850 apneics in the U.S.
