Snoring
According to some studies, 24% of men and 18% of women suffer from snoring. Also, 60% of men and 40% of women over the age of 60 snore (female snoring increases after menopause). Some Stanford University sleep researchers found that 75-80% of the patients they see are diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea. A CAA official stated that as many as 50,000 auto accidents happen in Canada as a result of sleepy drivers; many of which suffer from obstructive sleep apnea.
Why Sleep Is So Important to Your Everyday Life
A good night's sleep is incredibly important for your health, and it’s just as important as eating healthy and exercising. Poor sleep can make you fat and also put you at greater risk of heart disease and stroke, as well as depression. On the other hand, good sleepers tend to eat fewer calories, can have enhanced concentration and productivity.
