  1. Trouble falling asleep raises the risk of recurrent falls in humans (OR 2.54, 95% CI 1.30-4.96).

    “Frequent trouble falling asleep and short sleep duration (< 6 hours) were both associated with higher likelihood of recurrent falls (>=3 falls vs. <=1 fall) (OR=2.54, 95% CI=1.30,4.96; OR=1.80, 95% CI=1.07,3.05).”
