Snoring affects approximately 90 million American adults and is a common problem among all ages and both genders. It can cause disruptions to your own sleep and your bed-partner’s sleep. It can lead to fragmented and un-refreshing sleep which translates into poor daytime function (tiredness and sleepiness). The two most common adverse health effects that are linked to snoring are daytime dysfunction and heart disease. About one-half of people who snore loudly have Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
