Prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea in patients with posttraumatic stress disorder and its impact on adherence to continuous positive airway pressure therapy: a meta-analysis.
TL;DR: A meta-analysis showed that there was a significant difference between the prevalence of OSA in veterans with PTSD compared to nonveterans or mixed samples, and the possibility of Osa should be monitored carefully in patients with PTSD.

A new method for measuring daytime sleepiness: the Epworth sleepiness scale.
TL;DR: The development and use of a new scale, the Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS), is described, which is a simple, self-administered questionnaire which is shown to provide a measurement of the subject's general level of daytime sleepiness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epidemiology of obstructive sleep apnea: a population health perspective.
TL;DR: Evidence from methodologically strong cohort studies indicates that undiagnosed obstructive sleep apnea, with or without symptoms, is independently associated with increased likelihood of hypertension, cardiovascular disease, stroke, daytime sleepiness, motor vehicle accidents, and diminished quality of life.
