    Snoring, medical term apnea, is a medical indicator, placing you at higher risk of serious medical conditions such as diabetes, strokes, and heart attacks.

    Your life insurance rates go up if they find out.

    My wife snitched on me to my doctor, I had a sleep study at a clinic, and now I use a CPAP machine when I sleep, which supposedly helps.

    Edit: Oh yeah, and snoring/apnea is linked to grinding your teeth, which can lead to root canals, tooth extraction.

    Not fun or cheap.

      Do you feel more rested now or notice any difference?

        I’m not the person you asked, but I’ve been on my CPAP for a year now. Yes, it does what they say, but I hate it with a passion. She can sleep, but now I wake up 4 times a night feeling like the damn thing is suffocating me.

        I haven’t noticed any difference from before, but my wife has stopped nudging me awake to get me to stop snoring.

        Been on it for a couple of years. It’s a difference like night and day. You don’t really notice how fucked you are by the apnea until you are not.

      Is this some sort of American joke that I’m too European to understand?

      Excuse my over used joke, but that cant be true?
