This causes the soft tissue in the back of their throat to collapse and typically produces loud snoring sounds. Snoring may be harmless in some cases, but it can also be a sign of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
These interruptions may occur 5 to 30 times or more each hour, all night long. This disruption is usually so brief that you dont remember.
