Do you snore?
Snoring is more than an annoying habit, it may be a sign of sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is a condition when the muscles that control the upper airway relax and it causes you to snore but sometimes the airway becomes blocked and you stop breathing temporarily. This affects the quality of sleep you get and in turn your overall health.
