About Snoring

We’ve created a society that simply views snoring as a nightly nuisance. In reality, it’s a prominent health concern. In fact, 1 in 3American adults are snoring, not realizing the underlying danger.

Chromic snoring can be a sign of a sleep disorder known as obstructive sleep apnea. This is when you actually stop breathing for upward of10 seconds more than four times an hour! This lack of oxygen not only leads to poor sleep for you and your partner but can negatively impact your overall health and lifestyle.

Why do

You Snore?

Aside from snoring caused by a cold or congestion, that loud, mid-sleep rumbling is a sign of something going on beyond what meets the eye. We snore when the airway is blocked. When you breathe in, the air is obstructed by soft tissues in the back of the throat, including the tongue and uvula. This creates the sound and minimizes the amount of oxygen your brain and body get throughout the night.
