Snoring affects approximately 44 percent of men and 30 percent of women. While most snoring is normal, there is one kind of snoring that can have serious effects - sleep apnea.

People who have sleep apnea stop breathing for 10 to 30 seconds at a time while they are sleeping.

You have Sleep Apnea Syndrome (SAS) when you stop breathing five or more times in 1 hour while asleep. Or, if you stop breathing 30 or more times during a 6 hour sleep period. But if you have bad SAS, you may stop breathing many more times while asleep.
