AbstractSnoring is a marker for sleep apnea. Additionally, snoring per se is a cause of excessive vascular morbidity and an excessive risk for accidents. These health risks of snoring could be lowered by using CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure). Despite this evidence, CPAP-therapy is still limited to patients with hypersomnolence (excessive daytime sleepiness), due to conflicting results in the literature and the well-known lack of compliance in patients without hypersomnolence.
