Snoring not only disturbs your partner’s sleep, it also disrupts the sleep you’re getting, whether you realise it or not. Snoring means you’re not getting the right amount of oxygen into your system for your body to perform its important functions.It also means you’re likely to be waking up throughout the night without realising it. That could be getting in the way of the healthy sleep you need to lead a refreshed, energetic life. So regardless of what is specifically causing snoring for you, if you snore — or if you suspect you snore — consider it a sign that something might not be right and talk to your doctor about doing a sleep study.
