Snoring Basics

Men are twice as likely to be snorers as women. If you're one of them, the following links will help.

Although snoring can be the result of being overweight and unfit, it can also have external causes like an allergy so it makes sense to get it checked out. It will improve your sleep (and that of anyone you share a house with). This will improve your health and possibly even your sex life since snoring forces many couples to sleep in separate rooms.

• British Snoring & Sleep Apnoea Association - on their excellent website, you can do some simple online tests to find out what kind of snorer you are what the appropriate approved treatments are. If these don't help you find a solution, they also offer a confidential face-to-face service.
