High ambient temperatures are associated with reduced sleep duration and quality, and increased obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). Here the authors quantify the effect of 24 h ambient temperature on nightly OSA severity and report projected in losses of healthy life years and workplace productivity due to OSA in scenarios of projected temperatures ≥1.8° C above pre-industrial levels by 2100.
