The more we snore, the more likely we are to be developing serious breathing conditions
Breathing anomalies while we sleep, including apnea, are important indicators of potential serious wellness challenges
A large Fullpower-AI study of 300,000+ nights of sleep, leveraging the new polysomnography-grade Fullpower-AHI platform, confirms that breathing anomalies while we sleep become more prevalent as we age and BMI increases.

In comparison, the state of Arizona does not change its time for Daylight Saving Time. As a result, their data does not show a disruption. The […]
