According to Yale Medicine, as many as 90 million Americans snore on occasion, with 37 million people reporting that they snore regularly. Sometimes it’s light enough as to not be disruptive to yourself (or your bedroom partner, if you have one); other times, it can jolt you (or your loved ones) awake and contribute to poor sleep, regardless of whether or not you've invested in the best mattress.
No matter if you snore every once in a while, have recently started snoring, or have a solid history of doing so, you might be curious: is snoring safe or potentially harmful? When might snoring be cause for concern? Could it indicate how well your sleep quality and overall well-being are faring… and even potentially clue you into your risk for adverse health outcomes?
