There is a theory that if there is something you don't like, it's caused by climate change.

Re: Climate change increasing risk of sleep apnea (NPR)
There is a theory that if you have your head up Trump's ass, you discredit science.There is a theory that if there is something you don't like, it's caused by climate change.
The study used about two years of sleep data from more than 125,000 people, in 41 different countries worldwide.The data tracked detected sleep disruptions with sensors placed under people's mattresses and tracked changes in sleep apnea incidents over time, and compared that sleep data with temperature where people lived. As temperatures climbed, people's sleep apnea got worse.
The risk of having a severe sleep apnea event when it was very hot out nearly doubled in many northern countries, like Europe and Russia. It went up by about 40% in countries like the U.S.

Re: Climate change increasing risk of sleep apnea (NPR)
I never voted for Trump and I never will. I will never vote for any of his lackeys. I believe that climate change is real and is a problem. But I stand by my statement that climate change can not explain everything bad. I don't think a two year study and lead to a conclusion about climate change causing sleep apnea.

Why don't you read the actual study instead of commenting from the peanut gallery? - https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-025-60218-1
