Snoring Can Indicate Serious Health Issues, American College of Physicians Reveals
8/2/2012 7:56:46 AM
It’s a great night for snores! I just had a report ... Of some boys who are tops in this musical sport! —Dr. Seuss, The Sleep Book Dr. Seuss, the author also known as Theodore Geisel, is recognized worldwide for the infinite wisdom he presents behind fun, nonsensical rhymes. In The Sleep Book, he attempts to lull children to sleep with news flashes that report the path of a contagious yawn — a veritable sleep epidemic. And snoring characters abound with humor. In real life, “sawing logs” is not humorous: It can be a sign of sleep apnea, vastly under-diagnosed and a very serious health threat. Sleep apnea is an involuntary cessation of breathing that occurs during sleep. People with untreated sleep apnea stop breathing repeatedly during the night, sometimes hundreds of times and often for a minute or longer. In most cases, the sleeper is unaware of these breath stoppages because they don't trigger a full awakening.
