Wrestling With Sleep ApneaFrom: About Sleep Disorders / march 6
A while ago I wrote an article about the number of football players who suffer from sleep apnea. Now another study, this one conducted in the Douai Memorial Hospital in Tokyo, reveals that many Sumo wrestlers also suffer Sleep Apnea... if the wrestler suffers from obstructive sleep apnea, he lacks the concentration needed for the sport. This may be causing injuries. Apnea is also causing wrestlers to lose more matches than is normal or to miss tournaments.
