Driving drowsy as bad as drunk

Drowsy Drivers: The Unspoken Road Danger

How Much Sleep Should You Get?

Recently, I was interviewed for a segment on CBS Channel 2 News in New York. The topic was, “What constitutes the best night’s sleep?” How many hours of sleep are needed, and is it better to sleep alone or with a partner?The answer to both questions is relative to the person asking it, depending on their age and overall health. This is known as a person’s basal sleep need: the amount of sleep an individual needs on a regular basis for optimal performance.As the founder of Eos Sleep in…See More

Untreated Sleep Apnea: The Quiet Danger on the Road

By Dr. David O. VolpiIt is common knowledge that untreated sleep apnea can have dire health effects, but researchers in England found out that loss of sleep also increases a person’s risk of nodding asleep at the wheel, and getting in a car accident. That endangers not only the person suffering from the sleep disorder, but any person driving around them at any given time.The study, which was organized…See More

Sleep apnea causes systemic inflammation: CPAP can help

If you, or someone you know, have been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), you’re probably familiar with a treatment called CPAP, or Continuous Positive Airway Pressure.While some people find the mask worn for CPAP treatment uncomfortable—more on that later—it has been proven to be a highly effective way to keep the airways open that become obstructed in sleep apnea patients, and reduce or prevent snoring and paused breathing.There’s a new study that found that CPAP treatment also…See More

Early morning awakening

Normally, I don't have a problem falling asleep, but I normally wake-up between midnight and 1 am, and don't lie awake for some period of time.I am told that these early morning awakenings can be due to depression. Does anyone know what that really means? So, what actually happens to a person in the middle that would cause you to wake-up? Does the brain stop creating serotonin at night for some reason I ask because most the anti-depressants operate on serotonin in the brain. ThanksSee More
