Manic people typically have a lot of energy. They are always on the go, go, go. Sometimes they can't sleep for days and then they pass out from complete exhaustion.

People tend to be irritable. They have impaired daytime function. There is data to suggest that people that have sleep disorders are more at risk for depression.

Believe it or not, despite all that we know about sleep, we don't know why people sleep or what its purpose is.

Most people need to prioritize sleep. There's just too much in our society that distracts our attention elsewhere.

Early intervention can reduce morbidity due to sleep-disordered breathing.

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.
