The risk of developing these medical problems increasesthe longer that a person snores and the more severely they snore. Therefore, it is criticalthat snoring be brought under control and kept under control indefinitely. By keeping thesnoring under control, the risk factors for all these serious medical conditions graduallydecrease over a period of years.In addition, studies done at Stanford University andother institutions have shown that snorers have a higher rate of automobile accidents thatnon-snorers! Why would this happen? Snoring is known to cause reduced oxygen flow to the brainand other organs, resulting in daytime fatigue or sleepiness, slower reflexes and reducedattention span.

These secretions begin to irritate the surrounding tissues, producingcongestion and swelling. These factors produce a partial obstruction to the airflow, resultingin airflow turbulence which vibrates the soft tissues in the back of the throat and producesthe sound of snoring.
