My first incidence of sleep walking, that I remember, was when I was 16 years old and had been driving only a short amount of time.
My brother and I had gone to the drive inn theater in my car and were watching a movie. The movie was either a dull one or I was excessively [...]
As we saw, yesterday, childhood sleep apnea can manifest itself through a variety of other behaviors.
If your child exhibits any of the following, during the night, you might want to have them checked for possible sleep apnea or other sleep disorder.

Not only does a snoring child disrupt the sleep of his brothers, sisters and possibly his/her parents, they also run the risk of many severe health related problems later in life.

One of the articles I read lately says there’s a new device being tested for helping keep the air passages open for sleep apnea sufferers according to researchers at the Medical College of Wisconsin.

Sleep apnea is most commonly found in overweight, middle aged men. Guess what profile that fits. You got it, America’s truckers.
A recent government study found that fully 28% of America’s truck drivers [...]
The already inefficient government workers in Germany will now be given a 30 minute snooze time off per day.
If that isn’t enough, they will have to set up “snooze rooms” at a cost of who knows how much so the workers have a sleep conducive atmosphere in which to sleep.
