Our friends at ABC radio Brisbane called in today to have a chat to our lab manager Phil about how sleep plays a role in our health and well being. Today we spoke about snoring, and how snoring can be a prelude or tell tale sign of a more significant sleep disorder. They spoke about sleep disordered breathing, most notably obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and they went over some of the risk factors for OSA are… Snoring, tiredness, observed apnoeas, hypertension, BMI (weight), age, neck circumference and gender.
