TITLE

A Guide to Sleep Apnea

DESCRIPTION

This is an extremely compressive list of “articles” related to the issues of sleep apnea:  what it is, diagnosis, symptoms, dangers, and treatment.  It contains every thing that comprises an excellent resource for students when the sleep disorders are discussed in class.  From the site:  “Every night, millions of Americans go to bed and drift into an evening of sleep that is anything but peaceful. They snore and gasp for air throughout the night, causing chronic sleepiness and increasing their risk of heart disease, hypertension and Type 2 diabetes. This condition, known as sleep apnea, affects an estimated 22 million Americans. Yet most people who have it never get it diagnosed. They suffer night after night and jeopardize their health. Here’s what you need to know about sleep apnea, along with some of the best ways to detect and sometimes even cure it.”
