Snoring is not just a noise issue -- severe snoring can be a sign of sleep apnea, which untreated can lead to high blood pressure, daytime drowsiness, and other problems.
Solution
Understand snoring levels
Mild (fewer than 10/hour): usually harmless, side sleeping may help. Moderate (10-30): pay attention to weight and sleeping position. Severe (more than 30): consult a doctor.
Monitor your snoring
Use Hushbay to record snoring data -- frequency, duration, and severity.
See a doctor when needed
If severe snoring or accompanied by daytime sleepiness, bring your Hushbay snoring report to the doctor. You may need to check for OSA.

Depends on the cause. Weight loss, side sleeping, and avoiding alcohol before bed can improve mild-to-moderate snoring. Severe snoring may require CPAP or surgical treatment.
