At some point in his or her life, everyone snores. Think back to the last time snoring interrupted your life. Maybe it was your partner, sawing away at logs while you try to stuff pillows into your head. Maybe it was the last time you were at a hotel, and a neighbor’s snoring woke you up. Or maybe you’re the snorer, and your partner has to wear earplugs just to get a good nights’ sleep. The fact of the matter is, everyone snores at some point, and everyone is affected by snoring as well.

This lack of full-cycle sleep can have potentially dangerous effects.
