Patients with obstructive sleep apnea often report that they feel like “a new person” after beginning treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. Study findings published on the Jan. 1, 2011 support these anecdotal reports, showing that three weeks of CPAP therapy significantly reduced fatigue and increased energy.
A British study finds that the condition known as floppy eyelid syndrome (FES) is strongly associated with obstructive sleep apnea
A new study, derived from novel sleep research conducted by University of California at San Diego researchers 14 years earlier, suggests the secret to a long life may come with just enough sleep.

Combat veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) almost universally suffer sleep problems — with more cases of sleep apnea than might otherwise be expected — U.S. Army researchers found. In a group of 135 young, otherwise healthy combat veterans with PTSD, 98.5 percent reported sleep complaints, Nick Orr, M.D., and colleagues at the Walter Reed [...]
Obstructive sleep apnea patients adhere to positive airway pressure treatment just as well whether diagnosis and titration occur at home or in the sleep laboratory, researchers found.
The application of new coverage determination adherence criteria for continued reimbursement of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) may have potential negative effects on patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and their clinical care. Adherence to therapy is defined as use of PAP more than four hours per night for at least 70 percent of [...]
ResMed Corp. today released the new Mirage Micro for Kids nasal mask, its second patient interface for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children.
Based on the design and personalized comfort features of the original Mirage Micro, the nasal mask now comes in a small headgear size, but also includes a small cushion suitable for children.
Patients with suspected obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may no longer have to spend an expensive and uncomfortable night at a sleep center to monitor their sleep-disordered breathing.

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.
