Snoring has plagued humankind since the beginning, with ridiculous “remedies” ranging from leather masks to electric pulses. But have you ever wondered what causes snoring? How can we stop snoring and what does it mean for our overall health?

While snoring may seem like a harmless irritant, if it persists it may be time to see a doctor. Snoring affects our sleep quality and may be a signal of a sleeping disorder that can potentially lead to cardiovascular problems.
