- Your blood pressure is always recorded as one number over the other

When Snoring Is More Than Just A Little Pain In The Neck
 |
- If you snore, your nightly noises may be a source of aggravation for the people around you, but snoring can actually be harmful to your health
- According to a story recently published in the journal Sleep, snoring is associated with a higher risk of carotid atherosclerosis, which is the accumulation of plaque in arteries that supply blood to the brain
|
- The researchers brought in 110 participants, including people who snored and others who didn't. The participants underwent a sleep study, in which their snoring and breathing patterns were measured while they slept
