Is Snoring a sleep disorder?
Snoring alone does not necessarily mean you have a sleep disorder, although it is a common characteristic of sleep apnea. Snoring does mean that there is a resistance in the airway that causes the snoring. Some people s sleep is not disrupted by snoring alone, but some people do have frequent brief awakenings during the snoring. When this occurs, it is usually diagnosed as Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome.
