New findings! 🌡️ 165M nights (317k people), we found a 40% higher risk of short sleep on the hot vs normal day.

People in lower-income countries and older adults were most affected. Global sleep health inequalities due to climate change may rise.

Our new study reveals the "social apnoea" phenomenon - a weekend spike in sleep apnea severity. 🧪

We analysed data from 70k+ people and found 18% higher risk of moderate-severe OSA on Saturdays vs Wednesdays.

Excited to share our latest study, just published in Nature Communications, where we show that rising global temperatures are expected to substantially increase the severity and burden of obstructive sleep apnea worldwide.
