Statistically, he most likely has it, at least to some degree. If you give him the benefit of the doubt, he may have had a late night function the previous night.

While we're on the topic of celebrities with possible sleep apnea, take a look at Oprah's article on her magazine this month: http://www.oprah.com/article/omagazine/200901_omag_oprah_weight.

Her yo-yo like weight fluctuations, history of depression, anxiety, chronic fatigue, hypothyroidism, craving food all the time, all point to a possible underlying untreated sleep-breathing disorder. She needs to undergo a sleep study.

That's the moral of the story. If Bill Clinton had been faithful to his wife then Hillary would be sleeping with him and as a highly intelligent, educated, aware wife.................she'd know whether or not Bill had apnea.

But we all suffer due to the childish lifestyle of Bill Clinton because were Bill to have apnea, Hillary not only woulld have made sure that Bill got treatment but sleep apnea (awareness, proper treatment, funding, research) would have become a top priority and how much better would treatment for us be today?

How much closer might we be today towards finding a cure?

another thing is that Chelsea went to Stanford, and Stanford's Bill Dement is the "father of Sleep Medicine" --- I heard through the grapevine that once when Hillary was helping Chelsea move into her dorm, she bumped into Dr. Dement and got an earful about Sleep disorders. So Hillary at least has it on her radar.
