Can a Robot Help Cure Sleep Apnea?
Every few years, another new technical innovation is touted as the latest in sleep apnea treatment. One such example is robotic surgery for obstructive sleep apnea.

33% of All Cops May Have Sleep Apnea
I’ve always wondered about police officers—just like the rest of the population, many are generally overweight. A new study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association revealed that about 40% of police officers screened positive for at least one major sleep disorder.
