Abstract

“Modern life in the 21st Century is now so high-pressured, often disturbed with noise, leading to severe problems with insomnia, hypersomnia, and sleep-disordered breathing. We live in a time where we have to deal with obesityrelated issues, the prevalence of sleep-disordered breathing is increasing, and these are important issues on a large population scale which will impact on how we will live in future”. Dr. Joerg Steier from Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospitals in the UK described above in an interview by Journal of Thoracic Disease (JTD).
