Genre: Information/Explanation

• Higher incidence of aches and pains • Hearing loss , especially limited to the one ear most exposed to the snoring • High levels of fatigue and daytime sleepiness • Fibromyalgia • Depression or poorer mental health • Memory impairment One Mayo Clinic study found that the bed partners of people who snore woke at least partially an average of 21 times per hour . This is nearly as often as the 27 times per hour that the " snorers " were awakened by their own documented sleep disorders ( such as sleep apnea ) . Both bed partners may be suffering from a sleep-disordered breathing and sleep deprivation although only one may have the real problem . Often those who snore do not take complaints from their bed partner seriously or act in denial , which further exacerbates the problem . A Unique Approach Snoring and sleep apnea are conditions inflicted during sleep . During the night , the normal tongue and jaw positions allow air to pass through the throat effortlessly . The tongue is forward , the jaw is closed and the airway is open . When a person suffers from sleep apnea , his / her airway is blocked periodically through the night depending on the severity of the sleep apnea . The mouth is open , the tongue and soft tissue relaxes and collapses into the throat . This causes the person to snore and possibly have sleep apnea episodes .
