Children’s IQs Affected by Sleep Disorders?

Researchers at the University of Virginia Health System are saying that children with sleep disorders may end up with intellectual impairment. According to this article, “Sleep disorders may intellectually and behaviorally harm children by interrupting sleeping patterns necessary for growth. According to studies, children with sleep disorders are observed snoring, snorting, gasping, tossing and turning at night while some are irritable, hyperactive and unable to concentrate during the day.”

The UVA researchers are working on a household device that records breathing sounds during sleep and hope to establish risk profiles and treatment plans for cognitive and behavioral problems that develop in children with sleep disorders

Launch of Reminder Calls

We’re back… and we bring good tidings along with some exciting news.

After over a month of very little activity on this blog, we are pleased to announce the official launch of the Snoozester Reminder Call service.  A Snoozester Reminder Call is a telephone call that helps you remember scheduled appointment or event. You can schedule a Snoozester Reminder Call online, and then receive your reminder call on your home phone or mobile phone. When you schedule a reminder call, you will be prompted to type in a short text message, such as “Term paper due by midnight” or “Dentist appointment tomorrow at 8:00.” When you receive your Snoozester Reminder Call, the message will be played back to you over the telephone.

Read more about the service on the Snoozester.com Reminder Calls website, or check out the official press release announcing the new service.
