What is snoring? Snoring is a noise made by the vibration of tissue in the upper airway, i.e., your mouth, nose and the back of your throat.
On average, the bed partner of a snorer loses at least an hour of sleep every night. Because the partner's sleep is interrupted so frequently, it isn't deep and restful. As a result, they can be irritable, resentful, even unsafe at the wheel while driving. Sleep deprivation can also compromise the immune system and lead to low energy, decreased productivity and muddled thinking. Chronic snoring can even be a sign of a more serious health problem, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
