A recently published study shows dream-enacting behaviors are common in healthy, young adults, and the prevalence of specific behaviors differs between men and women.
Results indicate that 98 percent of subjects (486 out of 495) reported experiencing one of seven subtypes of dream-enacting behavior at least rarely in the last year.
An independent link between sleep apnea and mortality has been discovered by a group of Australian researchers, suggesting the prevention and treatment of this condition should be a higher priority for government bodies working to improve community health.
The study conducted by the Woolcock Institute of Medical Research in Sydney found moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) was associated with 33 percent mortality over 14 years compared to 7.7 percent mortality in people with no sleep apnea.

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.
