"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"Climate change could be disrupting how well you sleep, scientists have found. That's because hotter nights caused by the climate crisis could be making sleep apnoea much more common - a condition thought to affect about 10 million people in the UK. People with sleep apnoea often snore loudly, their breathing starts and stops during the night, and they may wake up several times. Not only does this cause excessive sleepiness during the day,"
The Independent operates without paywalls and relies on reader donations to fund journalists who report across political and social issues, investigate political finance, and produce documentaries. Donations enable sending reporters to gather on-the-ground perspectives and to investigate competing viewpoints. Rising nighttime temperatures linked to the climate crisis can disrupt sleep and are associated with increased prevalence and severity of obstructive sleep apnoea. Obstructive sleep apnoea affects millions, causes loud snoring, interrupted breathing and frequent awakenings, and produces daytime sleepiness. The condition also increases risks of high blood pressure, stroke, heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Heatwaves appear to worsen OSA incidence and severity.
