Abstract
Only a few years ago, snoring was regarded as a social nuisance of no medical significance. The recognition of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and its pathological sequelae during the 1970s caused increased interest in snoring as the most frequent complaint in patients with OSA. Even in the absence of apnea, snoring is associated with excessive daytime sleepiness, subjective work performance problems, and morning headache. Furthermore it can disrupt a harmonies relationship between two partners and sometimes be blamed as the reason for the underlying lack of marital harmony.
