How Climate Change May Be Affecting Sleep Patterns for Adults and Children
Robust research is increasingly showing the ill effects of climate change, from rising temperatures to severe weather events, on human sleep.
Oxygen Desaturation Index Valuable for Sleep Apnea Diagnosis in Some Instances
What is the value of the oxygen desaturation index (ODI) as compared to the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) in accurately diagnosing adult obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)?
Can Smartphone Apps Be Used to Screen for Obstructive Sleep Apnea?
