Prevalence of sleep apnoea and snoring in hypertensive men: a population based study.
TL;DR: SDB is more prevalent in men with HT than in controls and the results indicate that the influence of SDB on HT is more pronounced in younger and middle aged men than in those above 60 years.

Sophie Schwartz,Aurélie Ponz,Rositsa Poryazova,Esther Werth,Peter Boesiger,Ramin Khatami,Claudio L. Bassetti +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that hypothalamic HCRT activity physiologically modulates the processing of emotional inputs within the amygdala, and that suprapontine mechanisms of cataplexy involve a dysfunction of hypothalamic-amygdala interactions triggered by positive emotions.

Sleep apnea-related cognitive deficits and intelligence: an implication of cognitive reserve theory.
Manos Alchanatis,Nikolaos Zias,Nikolaos Deligiorgis,Anastasia Amfilochiou,Giorgos Dionellis,D. Orphanidou +5 more
TL;DR: It is assumed that high‐intelligence may have a protective effect against OSA‐related cognitive decline, perhaps due to increased cognitive reserve.

TL;DR: It is concluded that SDB is associated with excess sleepiness in community-dwelling, middle-aged and older adults, not limited to those with clinically apparent sleep apnea.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Epworth Sleepiness Scale may not reflect objective measures of sleepiness or sleep apnea
TL;DR: The data suggest that the subjectively derived ES cannot be used as a surrogate for the objectively determined Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSL) or measures of sleep apnea severity.
