New trials at The University of Western Australia may offer hope to sufferers of sleep apnea who struggle to get a full night’s sleep without disruption.
If insomnia keeps you awake at night, Flinders University researchers recommend a trip to the doctor - not for a sleeping pill prescription but for a short course of intensive behavioral therapy.
A good night's sleep is essential for a healthy body and mind, for when we sleep is when the body resets, repairs, and refreshes itself. A lot of people, however, have trouble falling or staying asleep, a condition known as insomnia that affects up to 30% of the population.
According to a recent study, people who self-report daytime sleepiness have shorter telomeres irrespective of whether they have obstructive sleep apnea.
