A questionnaire that screens for a disorder partly named for this process assesses BMI and neck size and is known by the acronym STOP-BANG. Disorders involving this process can be indicated by a high score on a scale named for Epworth Hospital, including one that can be treated by supplementing orexin and often presents with cataplexy. The “central” form of a condition can be differentiated from its “obstructive” form based on whether it is more prevalent during “quiescent” or “paradoxical” stages of this process, though both can be managed with CPAP machines. High levels of somatotropin are released after the onset of the “slow wave” form of this process, during which memory consolidation also occurs. For 10 points, circadian rhythms regulate what process promoted by melatonin? ■END■
