How is it that a man who is not ordinarily a sound sleeper can sleep right through his own snoring?

Sleep deprivation: This may be an indication of sleep deprivation from chronic sleep apnea. A sleep study is indicated.

Deep sleep: You sleep more soundly than you think. In the light stages of sleep, you are easily aroused and awakened. In the deeper stages of sleep (rem) you are partially paralyzed, tissue begins to block the airway, and you snore. But you are so deeply asleep, that you are unaware of it. You will go through several cycles of rem sleep each night, and will never know it.
