Oxygen equipment to improve work performance?
Oxygen equipment could be utilised by sleep apnoea patients to improve their performance at work.
Asia One has suggested those who suffer from the condition may find they are unable to carry out duties to the best of their abilities as they have been deprived of adequate snooze time.
The source also noted the disorder can disrupt family life and even, in some cases, cause fatal accidents through drowsiness at the wheel.
It observed people who go through constant bouts of disruptive rest should seek to do something about it and refers to sleep apnoea as a "silent killer".
Many individuals may be unaware they have the condition and some may even be embarrassed, but this should not deter a person from taking the matter into their own hands, the portal added.
A recent report compiled by Dean Beebe of Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Care indicated young children with sleep apnoea may be performing worse in their studies than those who get a good night's rest.
