Snoring (medical terminology is snoring, snoring, sleep apnea syndrome) is a common sleep phenomenon. At present, most people think it is a cliche, but it is not. Some people regard snoring as a sign of a sound sleep. In fact, snoring is the enemy of health, because snoring repeatedly causes sleep and apnea, causing severe hypoxia in the brain and blood, forming hypoxemia, inducing hypertension, brain heart disease, arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, angina pectoris and so on. The apnea time at night exceeds 120 seconds, and sudden death is easy to occur in the early morning.
