Snoring can lead to serious health concerns. Even death!

Food, water and the air we breathe are all necessary for us to survive. So is an adequate amount of sleep. Like a computer, your body needs to reboot itself every day.

What happens when you sleep?

Your brain and your body have a chance to refresh and arm themselves for the next day. Your heart slows down and the stress you’ve accumulated through the day is relieved. Blood pressure gets lowered. You decrease the severity of age-related diseases. You can lower the chances of hypertension, obesity, diabetes and memory loss.

Sleep loss can cause damage to your heart. A lack sleep has been linked to cardiovascular disease, heart attacks, strokes and in some cases, death. Chronic sleep loss can reduce your body’s ability to regulate hormones and carry out basic metabolic functions.

Often, snoring can lead to a much more serious health concern, known as sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is a blockage in the breathing airways and those who have it are often deprived of receiving enough oxygen during the night. Sleep apnea can worsen heart disease. The chance of developing high blood pressure is greater–one of the major risk factors for heart disease and strokes.

Sleep deprivation can lead to serious health problems and premature death. It can also negatively impact the brain’s ability to function, increasing stress hormones and result in depression.
