While your family members are unable to sleep due to your snoring, you may not even realize that you snore.
According to data provided by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM), about 24% of women and 40% of men snore almost every night.
But none of them wake up at night because of loud booming sounds. Why?
The thing is that it is very difficult to wake up a person in the deep sleep phase. Even snoring, the volume of which is equal to a fire alarm, is not capable of this.
But we spend 80% of the night in a different phase, and wake up from the sound of snoring - our own or someone else's - but we don't remember it.
The moments of awakening only last a few seconds, meaning that when the morning comes, you still won't know you snore.
Sometimes spouses who sleep together do not notice for a long time that one of them snores because their sleep cycles are synchronized.
Unfortunately, such ignorance does not help to get rid of the drowsiness that often occurs in people who snore.
