The Impact of Snoring on Sleep

A calm, quiet setting is important to restful sleep. Snoring interrupts that restful quiet. Usually people do not hear themselves snore, but snoring can cause disrupted sleep for both the snorer and the snorer's sleeping partner. It can lead to daytime sleepiness and fatigue, which can affect the ability to function effectively at home and at work, and could lead to health problems. It is important to eliminate snoring so everyone can get a restful night's sleep and maintain good health.

If you snore, you are not alone in your struggle to find a solution to this problem. Statistics indicate that approximately 40% of adults over the age of 40 snore. That means that 45 million Americans are habitual snorers, and that number will continue to grow dramatically, because the factors that cause snoring continue to be prevalent in our population.
Normal, smooth, unobstructed breathing is a key to getting a restful night's sleep.

The information in this section will help you learn about snoring and related complications so you can find a solution to your sleep problems.
