People always say that the best time to study is right after you exercise because the flow of blood to the brain is strong. However, I don't think mental cognitive power is associated with the magnitude of oxygen going to your brain, but you ability to learn is better when you have higher amounts of blood flow to your brain.
Lack of oxygen, obviously lessens your cognitive ability, as seen in stroke victims. This, though, is brain damage and not mere lessening of cognitive abilities brought on by total lack of oxygen, not just a lessening of the amount. Personally, I think it would make for a good study. Compare those guys who do deep sea diving, the ones who hold their breath, with those athletes that go into oxygen chambers for training. I guess if there were a correlation between oxygen getting to the brain and mental ability than people in Denver and the Dali Lama would be at a sever disadvantage. |

Sleep apnea certainly impairs your ability to function. Before I got my CPAP machine, I was getting to the point where I could barely function. Though I've had the machine for about two years now, I can tell I'm still not where I used to be when I was younger, but I'm a lot better than I was. I do suspect there's been some brain damage.
![]() I was telling this to someone yesterday and he said I'm still leaps and bounds beyond most. :/ |

Oxygen deprivation do to long exposure to sleep apnea can case minor brain damage. The sucky thing is most sleep apnea has to do with being over weight or at least to having fatty deposits in the air ways. This restricts breathing when you're relaxed (like when asleep) and can even kill you. Drinking and smoking can also make sleep apnea worse. I suspect there really are huge numbers of people with this without even knowing it. |
