TL;DR: It is indicated that chronic poor sleep is a causal risk factor for contracting respiratory infections, and in addition contributes to the severity of respiratory infections.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors found that chronic poor sleep is a causal risk factor for contracting respiratory infections and in addition contributes to the severity of respiratory infections, and they used logistic regression to assess association between poor sleep and infections, disease free survival hazard ratios, and used summary statistics from genomewide association studies of insomnia, influenza, URI and COVID-19 to perform Mendelian randomization analyses and assess causality.

TL;DR: Poor sleep is associated with an increased risk of infections and all-cause mortality and acute sleep loss and disruption have been linked with inflammation and poorer immune control, but previous studies have been unable to evidence causality between the chronic effects of poor sleep and respiratory infection risk.

TL;DR: In newly diagnosed OSA patients, the risk of traffic accidents appears to be multifactorial, and its assessment should include multiple parameters such as self-reported drowsiness while driving, occurrence of drowiness-related accidents, anthropometry, occupational status, and insomnia complaints.
