Sleep disturbances in long-term immigrants with chronic mountain sickness: A comparison with healthy immigrants at high altitude

Highlights • Sleep disorder and nocturnal hypoxia were important in the development of CMS in immigrant Hans. • Some healthy controls also suffered from sleep disorder but they can maintain higher SaO2 than CMS patients. • Periodic breathing was fewer in long-term immigrants. • The most common sleep...
