WHAT'S HAPPENING: Sleep breathing disorders


WHAT'S HAPPENING: SLEEP BREATHING DISORDERS

 Sleep disorders caused by breathing problems are only second to insomnia in prevalence, with many people undiagnosed and suffering long-term damage to their hearts, vascular systems, metabolism, moods, and more because of it. 

 ANYBODY can suffer from these problems, from young to old, obese to underweight, male to female. 

 If you suspect you have sleep-disordered breathing, or have been told you do by others (loud snoring, gasping, long pauses in breathing, in example), please consult your physician. The consequences are too serious to ignore if you don't.

 From snoring to upper airway resistance to sleep apnea to other sleep-breathing disorders (SBDs), let's take a look at what's been in the news. 

 Categories include upcoming events, public health items, SBD basics, SBDs and heart health, SBDs and stroke, SBDs and diabetes, SBDs and allergies/asthma, untreated SBDs, positive airway pressure (PAP) therapies, oral appliance therapy and dental sleep medicine, procedures, lifestyle and hygiene, women and SBDs, SBDs in the pediatric population, research & development, and products.

 This week's links were published or updated between 4.1.16 and 6.5.16.

This Week in Sleep News, April 8 - April 14


 SPECIAL  || Recalls, special announcements, breaking news, events 

 Washington DC: On April 11, the inaugural Bright Schools Competition™, sponsored in collaboration by the National Sleep Foundation (NSF) and the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA), named 50 middle-school teams as national finalists in the competition, which challenged students in grades 6-8 to explore the light and sleep and how this relationship affects student health and performance. 

 The initial turn out for the content was 170 teams, composed of nearly 550 students heralding from 63 different schools. 

"Congratulations to all of the national finalists who competed in the competition this year,” said NSTA Executive Director Dr. David Evans. “We are pleased that so many students choose to use science to explore the connection between light and sleep.” 

 The first-, second- and third-place national winning teams will be chosen and announced on May 2. Learn more about the competition here.

**********
New York City: April 17 marks the date of the first Sleep Symposium, touted as "an eye-opening day of conversations and experiences exploring the science and culture of sleep, featuring Arianna Huffington, Reggie Watts, St. Lucia, and more." Day passes are $50; schedule is from 2-8pm. The event is sponsored by Casper. Learn more about the symposium here.

 **********
Boston: The 2016 Boston Marathon takes place on April 18, and so does the benefit for Wake Up Narcolepsy, which has surpassed $50,000 so far, with a goal of reaching $60,ooo by Sunday.

Funds raised during this event will help advance the understanding of narcolepsy to improve the lives of people suffering with narcolepsy.

This is the seventh consecutive years that #TEAMWUN has participated as a fundraiser to provide research money for improved treatment, prevention, and a cure. 
Narcolepsy is a devastating sleep disorder affecting 200,000 Americans and millions of people worldwide. Learn more here.
