A huge new international study has uncovered, for the first time, a weekly rhythm disturbance in one of the world’s most common but under-diagnosed sleep disorders – and it’s not good news for your Saturday night. Researchers have coined the term “social apnea” to describe the consistent and significant rise in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) severity that occurs during the weekend, likely driven by late nights, alcohol, smoking, sleeping in and other shifts in routine.

A massive study of nearly 400,000 people has for the first time established a causal link between gut bacteria and insomnia, confirming previous observational research that found some bugs help you sleep while others disrupt it. Fourteen bacterial taxa were found to increase the risk of insomnia, while eight appeared to be protective.

While auto engines are getting smaller and more efficient, marine outboards are packing on the cylinders. A year after introducing the "world's first V12 outboard," Mercury Marine followed up with what it called the industry's first V10 outboard, a 5.7-liter naturally aspirated water vaporizer available in two tunes. Not that those outputs were lacking, but it's been a few years, and Mercury is updating the V10 Verado lineup with a new flagship that brings even more power and speed potential.
