It is estimated that about forty five percent of people snore, which is not always a problem for the person doing the snoring as much as it is a problem for the partner who sleeps with them. Snoring can be a life threatening condition, however, and it is important to monitor what type of snoring is happening and how it affects sleep patterns. People who wake up in the morning and do not feel rested, have headaches, fall asleep at inappropriate times, have memory difficulties and low energy may have a more serious problem and should consult a doctor about it because they may be suffering from sleep apnea, which means they stop breathing multiple times during the night which can be fatal if left untreated.
