Reason for snoring loudly at night ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
OSA: Obstructive sleep apnea is the likely cause. There may be transient episodes where breathing stops for a period of time (ie seconds). This type of respiration prevents one from entering REM sleep. It is dangerous in the long run.
