| - 60% of adults admit to snoring | | - Men are twice as likely to snore than women | | - 78% of partners say they frequently experience a sleep problem as a results of their partners snoring | | - Snoring volumes can exceed 110dB – louder than a motorcycle revving up! | | - A British scientific study showed HELPS STOP SNORING may help reduce snoring intensity in 4 out of 5 cases* |
| It's not only the snorer who suffers: |
Often snoring causes sleep loss for both the snorer and their partner. Sleep partners may have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep and snorers often wake frequently during the night. This sleep deprivation has consequences during the day: sleepiness, irritability, and lack of productivity.

What is the difference between snoring and sleep apnea?
|
Snoring is a loud sound that a person makes as they breathe during sleep. Sleep apnea is a breathing obstruction, which requires the sleeper to awaken to begin breathing again. A person with sleep apnea wakes up many times a night to regain breathing. Snoring is a common symptom of sleep apnea, but snoring by itself does not involve the cessation of breathing. Sleep apnea is a serious condition which must discussed with a doctor/specialist.

Speak to your doctor without delay if:
|
- you stop breathing during sleep and have to wake up to catch your breath,
- you are losing sleep because of your snoring
