In the severely obese, the risk for sleep apnea can be between 55 and 90%. [20] However between 20-25% of patients with sleep apnea are not overweight. [21]
One of the components is a controlled regime of "sleep restriction" in order to restore the homeostatic drive to sleep and encourage normal "sleep efficiency". [186] Stimulus control therapy is intended to limit behaviors intended to condition the body to sleep while in bed. [185]
A decompression schedule is a specified ascent rate and series of increasingly shallower decompression stops—usually for increasing amounts of time—that a diver performs to outgas inert gases from their body during ascent to the surface to reduce the risk of decompression sickness. In a decompression dive, the decompression phase may make ...

To do physical activity safely and reduce risk of injuries and other adverse events, people should: Understand the risks, yet be confident that physical activity can be safe for almost everyone.
