Snoring can actually be fatal, and snoring is also a terrible disease. Why snoring can kill a person in 7 hours of sleep, the occurrence of apnea (pause to maintain more than 10 seconds) and hypoventilation more than 30 times, or in each hour of sleep, the occurrence of apnea and hypoventilation more than 5 times, are called “sleep apnea syndrome”.
