We would like to know how the snoring progresses as the child ages. Does it stop, continue or escalate? We will continue to follow these children through age five years to answer these questions.

We found that frequent snoring at age 1 is as prevalent as that reported in school-age children. Parents who snore should be aware that their children are at increased risk for frequent snoring.

We have developed something which is truly unique, with two extensive databases of sleep data, one with data of normal sleep with 350 participants and another one with sleep data of 400 people monitored while working or driving, crossing the stage between vigilant to sleep. About half of these people were tested in a driving simulator but the other half was tested driving on highways with double command cars. The tests show a significant difference in the persons reactions, as the persons in the simulator were more calm, knowing they were part of a test, whereas the people on the highways were really fighting sleep.
