Snoring is extremely bothersome. It interferes with sleep and plays a role in daytime drowsiness. It also fosters the development of sleep apnea. Some people snore occasionally (1 or 2 nights a week) while others snore habitually (almost every night). For habitual snorers, the problem gradually becomes chronic and then pathological, with the risk of developing sleep apnea syndrome as they age.
