Abstract:

Snoring represents a resonant noise produced during sleep în the superior air ways. Snoring people has always existed, but relatively recently this symptom was correlated with serious problems, cardio-pulmonary or neurological generated by disrupting the air flux during sleep. Paraphrasing a French author, we can unmask sleep as a sinister adventure, în which we get deeper every night, with a dear that is the result of ignoring the danger. After numerous statistics (1, 3, 7), 40% of men and 26% of women snores between 55 and 84 years old. It is difficult to evaluate the correct percentage because many times there are no witnesses (lonely people).
