TL;DR: The study proves that snoring and non-snoring healthy males are affected by nocturnal alcohol ingestion and under the effect of alcohol, these patients can develop signs of a sleep apnea syndrome, which should be considered clinically.

Abstract: Night time alcohol ingestion influences nocturnal breathing in patients with sleep apnea syndrome or respiratory diseases. To evaluate the influence of nocturnal alcohol ingestion on the cardio-respiratory activity of healthy men, 8 snoring and 13 non-snoring male subjects were measured for 3 nights after alcohol ingestion. Blood alcohol concentration was 0.0, 0.5 and 0.8%, respectively. During each night polysomnographic data were obtained and analyzed. The apnea-hypopnea index was significantly higher in snoring than in non-snoring participants and increased in both groups under the influence of alcohol. Non-snoring males showed a significant increase of hypopneas under nocturnal alcohol ingestion (0.96–1.65–2.06). Mean oxygen saturation (SAO2) was significantly higher in non-snoring compared to snoring males, and both groups showed a significant decrease (non-snoring: 96.06%–95.7%–95.52%; snoring: 95.54%–94.74%–94.53%). Snoring individuals had a significant decrease in SAO2 during NREM4, whereas SAO2 was reduced significantly in REM and NREM3 in non-snoring subjects. The nocturnal heart rate was significantly increased in both groups under the influence of alcohol. The study proves that snoring and non-snoring healthy males are affected by nocturnal alcohol ingestion. Under the effect of alcohol, these patients can develop signs of a sleep apnea syndrome, which should be considered clinically.

TL;DR: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials examined the impact of alcohol on breathing parameters during sleep and found that AHI increased significantly after alcohol administration and mean SpO2 was significantly reduced.

TL;DR: It can be concluded that both age and gender influenceSnoring and sleep bruxism seem to be more intensive in men, and older patients seem to snore more in N2 sleep and the supine sleep position and present lower bruXism episodes, especially the phasic type.

The influence of nocturnal alcohol ingestion on snoring
TL;DR: The results indicate that nocturnal alcohol ingestion affects individuals with a reported history of snoring to a greater extent than non-snorers and the recommendation, to avoid alcohol intake prior to sleep, is of special clinical importance for individuals already snoring.

Obstructive sleep apnea – management update
TL;DR: Alternative treatments are discussed but there is little role for upper airway surgery (except in a select few experienced institutions) or pharmacological treatment, and the current levels of evidence for the different treatment regimens are reviewed.

TL;DR: The main finding of this study is that individuals with sleep bruxism slept longer than the control group, and it may also be suggested thatindividuals with sleep Bruxism tended to increase the amount of habitual snoring during sleep.

TL;DR: The bidirectional interlink among these apparently different disease processes which share common pathophysiological mechanisms is highlighted and the importance of treating them collectively to improve outcomes is emphasized.
Alcohol, snoring and sleep apnea.
F G Issa,C E Sullivan +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the increased tendency to develop obstructive apnoea after alcohol is the result of alcohol-induced oropharyngeal muscle hypotonia, while the increased duration of obstructive sleep apnea is the results ofalcohol-induced depression of arousal mechanisms.

Prevalence of Reported Sleep Disturbances in a General Adult Population and their Relationship to Obstructive Airways Diseases
Mary E. Klink,Stuart F. Quan +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that, in the general adult population, sleep disorder symptoms increase with age and usually are greater in women, and there is an increased prevalence of sleep symptoms among adults with chronic airways obstructive disease, especially those with coexistent asthma and chronic bronchitis.

Ethanol specifically potentiates GABA-mediated neurotransmission in feline cerebral cortex
TL;DR: Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) potentiates the inhibition of cortical neurons by gamma-aminobutyric acid, and this effect is specific, since ethanol does not potentiate inhibiton by glycine, serotonin, or dopamine.
