What many of don’t know is that the snoring is more often than not associated with poor oxygen flow to the person snoring. This condition is know as Obstructive Sleep Apnea or OSA. Apnea means a cessation of breathing. You are actually suffocating when this happens. As you know, oxygen is vital to our body and without it, even for short periods of time can cause serious consequences.
