Why Snoring Must Stop

From the health aspect, sleep apnea is not normal. There are health risks associated with snoring that must not be overlooked. The risks for heart disease, stroke and hypertension increases when you snore.

Another unexpected health risk is Type II diabetes. Researchers found that when apnea limits a constant flow of oxygen and allows a buildup of carbon dioxide, the adrenal glands will hurry into action to produce more catecholamines (e.g. stress hormones like epinephrine and norepinephrine) in response to this unnatural air-traffic situation. Elevated levels of catecholamines will reduce the effectiveness of insulin which could possibly lead to diabetes in time to come.

Sleep apnea is characterized by no breathing for a few seconds (10-30 seconds) at a time, long enough to deplete oxygen in the blood and brain, then followed by loud snorts. This cycle repeats many times during sleep.
