This vulnerability to sleep-related hypoxia in early childhood has potential lifespan implications. Future studies should characterize the sleep- related respiratory physiology underpinning our observations.enNocturnalEffects of high altitude on humansPulse oximetryHypoxia (environmental)Altitude (triangle)Circadian rhythmBiologyPhysiologyMedicinearticle
