New evidence on the association of shortened sleep time and obstructive sleep apnea with sleepiness and obesity.
A new study may change the way we think about sleep disorders.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and short sleep duration (SSD) were compared with excessive daytime sleepiness; anxiety/depressive symptoms is linked to obesity.
Dr Asmaa Gundru from the MyHealth Medical Centre Helenvale in Brisbane, Queensland said that new research has shown that obesity may have linked to sleep deprivation and other health issues.
Dr Asmaa Gundru says that people should try the online Epworth Sleepiness Scale which has 8 questionnaires which they need to answer and hopefully by answering these questions helping them to sleep. Other two more websites she found have detail information about sleep apnoea are the Australasian Sleep Association and the Sleep Health Foundation.
