Snoring Can Be Dangerous To Your Health!

How many of us are willing to admit that we snore? Most people deny the act for a variety of reasons. Nevertheless the intense vibration and course sounds can wear on one’s nerves! Many a spouse loses hours of sleep due to the fact that their “significant other” snores. Loss of sleep does funny things to people. Excessive daytime sleepiness the result of sleep apnea has been implicated in the Exxon Valdez and Challenger incidents.

Lack of sleep does tend to make one do irrational things just ask the Pinellas County teenager who beat his father because he was snoring too loudly as reported in the St. Petersburg Times. Take note those of you who at least admit to yourself that you snore….you are not only at risk from Sleep Apnea but also form those around you who have to live with your snoring!
