Introduction

Snoring is Not Only Annoying

Snoring is not just something people do, it is a symptom; snoring is a manifestation of damage that caused by an underlying issue. Because snoring has been wrongly considered a part of many, if not most people’s sleeping habits, the damage that causes people to snore has gone unrecognized in most people, this is true even today.

What is The Damage?

Sleep is the recuperative process we must have in order to be healthy and sharp. Snoring is a disturbance that can interrupt our sleep, causing us to wake up from trouble snoring represents in our ability to breathe well, and even from the noise snoring can generate. Snoring is just a problem the snoring person alone must deal with; this is something that can affect anyone within earshot, especially a partner sleeping in the same bed, or someone sharing the room. Another person snoring can keep a person from getting truly restful sleep; this can be absolute torture for a person who must share a bed or sleeping quarters with someone who snores.

Noise is the least of the problems snoring causes. In its ultimately damaging form, people die, not from snoring, but Sleep Apnea. Snoring is just the audible manifestation of Sleep Apnea, which is the term for when a person involuntarily stops breathing while asleep. It is the Sleep Apnea is that causes a snorer to breath so heavily, not to mention loudly. Sleep Apnea is what causes a person to wake up gasping, or to adjust their sleeping position over and over throughout the night. A lack of deep rest has a cumulative degenerative effect on a person, affecting their mood, temperament, and ability to focus, concentrate and be a productive individual.

How Bad Can It Be?

Snoring is often depicted as being cute, or humorous in the sense of how ridiculous a persons snoring can be, but let see how funny you think it would be if you were in that

position. If you have never had to sleep with a person who snores, consider this a blessing in your life; now let us compare the often bombastic nature of a persons snore. The following examples should give you an idea of what so many people must endure when trying to get a good nights rest; each of these items registers at least the number of decibels as the average person who snores:
