Delayed school start times to improve sleep duration and mitigate depression in adolescents: a systematic review and meta-analysis

These findings suggest that delayed school start time is associated with a moderate improvement in sleep duration among middle and high school students, while depressive symptoms showed a small reduction. Further research with larger sample sizes and standardized outcome measures is warranted to clarify these associations

Sleep apnea may coexist with other sleep disorders

As many as 50% of people with sleep apnea have co-occurring sleep disorders, including insomnia, narcolepsy and restless legs syndrome.

Insomnia is the most prevalent sleep disorder occurring alongside other sleep conditions, and together they may contribute to daytime dysfunction, poorer quality of life, and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and mood disorders.

Alabama Institute for sleep health is here to provide the best quality sleep. Call 256-739-7050 to schedule an evaluation.

Secondhand smoke may affect sleep in pediatric cohort

A study published in Scientific Reports found that children with suspected sleep-disordered breathing who were exposed to secondhand smoke had more fragmented sleep, compared with those who were not exposed.
The study found that urinary cotinine levels increased and sleep quality decreased. Clinicians should routinely assess secondhand smoke exposure when evaluating children with sleep complaints, even when sleep-related breathing abnormalities appear mild.

Alabama Institute For Sleep Health wishes our sincere condolences to the family of Delancy Gardner. Delancy  was a respiratory therapist in the bronchoscopy laboratory at UAB when Dr. Warner first met her during his Specialty training. Dr. Warner opened the first full-time pulmonary Practice in Cullman in 1996. Delancy, who lived in Cullman with her husband Gus, joined him as our respiratory therapist/pulmonary function technician. She served faithfully for many years until she retired just a few years ago. She was a dear friend and truly part of our family, and we too will miss her dearly.  We want to thank her Family for sharing her with us during her working years. She touched many lives that are too numerous count. We have several of her masterful paintings in our office that remind us of her each day. Until we meet again in Jesus’ presence we say a short goodbye to our sweet Delancy.
