- People afflicted with sleep apnea are over six times more likely to cause an automobile accident, due to apnea's side effects of sleep deprivation and drowsiness.
- Partners of people with obstructive sleep apnea lose up to a full hour of sleep each night due to their mate's condition.
- An average night for the typical person afflicted with obstructive sleep apnea includes 400 episodes of breathing cessation.

All-night cramming sessions before exams may be counter-productive.
Students who don't get a full night's rest are more likely to have trouble concentrating and learning in school.Because the 5 to 10 hours after learning are crucial for memory consolidation, sleep deprivation during this time period can impair the brain's ability to "file away" new information.
