This information included sleep apnea scores and the nightly sleep duration of the participants.<\/p>\n<p>After two years, they gave these people a questionnaire to find out about their driving habits and motor vehicle crash histories.<\/p>\n<p>Compared with those with no sleep apnea, those with severe and mild-to-moderate sleep apnea were more likely to have been in a road accident, which was often a 123% more in severe cases and 13% more in mild-to-moderate cases.<\/p>\n<p>Compared with people who slept seven hours per night, those who managed only six hours were 33% more likely to have been in a motor vehicle crash.<\/p>\n<p>When testing for people\u2019s awareness of daytime sleepiness, they found that this was not relevant at all. <\/p>\n<p>Just as high percentage of people who felt properly awake (but were actually sleep deprived) had car accident as those who felt fatigued.<\/p>\n<p>Thinking of the 1.250.000 deaths every year in car accidents and you\u2019ll realize just how serious a 123% increase in car accident risk is.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fortunately, <a href=\"http:\/\/blueheronhealthnews.com\/health\/?page_id=1764\">here are simple, easy throat exercises that can completely eliminate snoring and sleep apnea as soon as tonight\u2026<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>And if you\u2019re suffering <a href=\"http:\/\/blueheronhealthnews.com\/health\/?page_id=1386\">insomnia, click here to learn a simple technique that will knock you out in 10 minutes (completely naturally) \u2026<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Snoring and even sleep apnea have long been considered as draining annoyances.
