Sleep-disordered breathing is also associated with highly prevalent diseases such as hypertension and type 2 diabetes.6 Heinzer and colleagues noted that severe sleepdisordered breathing (defined in the HypnoLaus study as >20·6 events per h) was independently associated with hypertension (odds ratio 1·60, 95% CI 1·14–2·26; p=0·0292), diabetes (2·00, 1·05–3·99; p=0·0467), metabolic syndrome (2·80, 1·86–4·29; p
