Because snoring reduces the amount of oxygen that reaches the brain, it may also exacerbate a person’s vulnerability to developing adult onset diabetes, hypertension, stroke, and heart disease.

What Can You Do to Reduce Your Chances of Snoring?

Many people can greatly reduce the occurrence of snoring simply by sleeping on their sides, and sleeping without a pillow, or at least a flatter pillow.
