Although the topic of snoring is frequently met with laughs. It is really no laughing matter, especially to the bed mate of the snorer. As a matter of fact, snoring can actually be a sign of a much more serious health problem known as sleep apnia. All snoring of course, is not the same. Not all who snore suffer from sleep apnia. There are different types of snoring.

Sleep apnia is a condition in which you literally stop breathing several times throughout the night while sleeping. In some cases, the interruption can occur hundreds of times during the night. The duration of an interruption can last over a minute.
