Feel like your brain sometimes doesn't work right? Well, it's not too far fetched that sleep deprivation associated with OSA can be chipping away at your grey matter... Good article here:

Not getting a good night's sleep might be linked to shrinkage of the brain's gray matter over time, new research suggests. Faster deterioration of three parts of the brain was seen in mostly older adults who had poor sleep quality, though not necessarily too little sleep....

Sleepy Mike's "Parade of Horribles" for un/under-treated OSA starts with Heart Disease:

From the National Sleep Foundation: The connection between OSA and heart disease is evolving very rapidly. People with cardiovascular problems such as high blood pressure, heart failure, and stroke have a high prevalence of sleep apnea. Whether sleep apnea actually causes heart disease is still unclear, but we do know that if you have sleep apnea today, the chance that you will develop hypertension in the future increases significantly.

One of the problems in defining the relationship between sleep apnea and heart disease is that people with sleep apnea often have other co-existing diseases as well.

If you treat people with high blood pressure and sleep apnea, or heart failure and sleep apnea, the measures of blood pressure or heart failure are significantly improved. There is good evidence to think there is a cause-and-effect relationship between hypertension and sleep apnea.

Coming up next week: Sleepy Mike's "List of Terribles" - the dangers of un/under-treated OSA.

Significant, life-altering ailments could be developing quietly, but consistently. Your fatigue might be a lot more than just being under-rested.

Did you know: If you use CPAP less than 5 hours each night, you're not getting the full physiological sleep recovery benefit of the treatment. Thousands eliminate OSA each year and gain not only their energy back - they add years on to their lives by reducing probability of more severe issues like cardiac arrest, diabetes, obesity, depression, and countless other issues your body cannot combat because it is drained of valuable energy.
