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.

Although our clocks are being moved back one hour, when we wake tomorrow morning (November 7), will you have “gained” an extra hour of the day?
Disruption of two genes that control circadian rhythms can lead to diabetes, a researcher at UT Southwestern Medical Center has found in an animal study. Mice with defective copies of the genes, called CLOCK and BMAL1, develop abnormalities in pancreatic cells that eventually render the cells unable to release sufficient amounts of insulin. Tweet
Northwest Airlines flight 188 flew 150 miles past the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport, where passengers thought they would land the evening of Thurs., Oct 22, 2009. Federal officials say the pilots claim they were distracted, and one version is that they had been engaged in a heated discussion over airline policy.
A fruit fly’s immune system can tell time, and how hard it punches back against infections depends on whether the fly is snoozing or cruising. The discovery could have implications for human health, well, says researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine.
Working with jerry-rigged, light-bulb-laden shoeboxes to manipulate the flies’ daily cycle and with syringes small enough to inject measured amounts of germs into the wee winged ones, the investigators have shown that the insects’ immune response waxes and wanes with the diurnal oscillations called circadian rhythms.
Post-partum depression (PPD) may lead to poor sleep quality, a study of 46 post-partum women shows.
Sleep deprivation may hamper a mother’s ability to care for her infant because judgment and concentration decline. Sleep-deprived mothers may also inadvertently compromise their infants’ sleep quality as infants often adopt their mothers’ circadian rhythms.

Other times I fell asleep while waiting for signals about commodity trades, including some worth from $200 million dollars and up.

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.
