3、EffectsSnorers(打鼾的人) have always been made jokes. In cartoons，their nasal roar 1ifts the roof off houses. In situation comedies，theres the wife who rolls her eves at her snoring bedmate. But in reality，its not all that funny. In fact，snoring can be a nightmare for snorers and their troubled partners
4、. who may wake up several times a night to poke，and maybe hoist loved ones onto their sides for a 1ittle relief. Risks of Snoring Problems But the nightly racket is more than a potential relationship strain. According to the latest research, an increasingly older and heavier population may make this
5、 condition an even greater health risk than we previously thought. For Maggie Moss-Tucker. successful treatment for a longtime snoring problem came almost by accident. One fall morning in 2005，she saw a sign at her local gym seeking snorers as volunteers for a study at Bostons Brigham &Womens Hospit
6、al. Moss-Tucker, now 56, was intrigued. She had started snoring nearly a decade earlier. “Id tried everything to stop. ”she says. from sleeping upright to using nose strips or a mouth guard. But to her and her husbands dismay. nothing worked. When she signed up for the study and spent a night at a s
7、uburban Boston sleep lab, she found out why. After reviewing her sleep patterns and oxygen levels, researchers told her that her snoring was actually an indication of something worse. She suffered from a sleep apnea(呼吸暂停)，a condition in which patients stop breathing repeatedly as they sleep and can
8、wake up as many as 100 times a nightoften without remembering it. That kind of revelation has led to doctors re-evaluating a condition once treated as little more than a nuisance. “In the past. snoring has been treated like a joking matter：you never talked about it with your doctor，”says Dr. David R
9、apoport, medical director of the Sleep Disorders Center at New York University Medical Center (NYC. . “But when it becomes very prominent or such that it wakes you up OF interferes with brea-thing，it can be a problem. ” Sleep apnea，in which the airway becomes blocked of. 1ess often. the brain fails
10、to properly control breathing during sleeping. can be viewed as one extreme of the snoring spectrum. Soft snoring. which is not generally considered a health hazard. would be at the other end. As the sound and persistence of a patients snoring grows，so do the health concerns. A study published in th
11、e March I issue of the journal Sleep found that loud snorers had a 40 percent greater risk than non-snorers of suffering from high blood pressure, 34 percent greater odds of having a heart attack and a 67 percent greater chance of having a stroke. Thats a problem given the number of noisy sleepers o
12、ut there. In a recent poll by the National Sleep Foundation， about one third of US working adults reported snoring at least a few nights in the previous month. Snoring generally worsens with age so the rate is even higher among the elderly. And，contrary to common perceptions，its nearly as common in
13、women as men. Menopause(更年期) appears to be a factor，as is weight. Being overweight can cause thickness in the airway tube， holding back the flow of oxygen. Treatment of Snoring Problems Yet many who regularly snore dont realize that it could be bad for their health. The research linking hypertension
14、, cardiac problems and loud snoring is relatively new. And though awareness of sleep apnea is growing, specialists say the condition is still vastly undertreated. Primary-care physicians dont routinely ask patients about the quality of their sleepthough that is beginning to change and few patients t
15、hink to tell their doctors that theyre snoring, unless it becomes hazardous to their partner. Sleep specialists estimate that between 12 million and 18 million Americans have some form of sleep apnea but many of them, like Moss-Tucker，remain undiagnosed for years. Research from the National Sleep Fo
16、undation indicates that only half of those with sleep apnea are being treated. Since it is a progressive condition，says Michael Twery，director of the National Institutes of Healths National Center on Sleep Disorders Research，“The person whos affected is usually not aware of how severe the condition
17、is. ” Moss-Tucker remembers being drowsy during the day sometimes，but she blamed it on her busy life. When researchers at the sleep lab asked if she had ever fallen asleep while driving，she laughed initially. But then she recalled long drives during which shed had to pull over every 45 minutes to ta
18、ke a cat nap(打盹) to avoid dozing off at the wheel. Shed also become accustomed to taking daily 25-minute naps each afternoon. But once she was diagnosed and began using a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure(or CPAP)machine，the most common treatment for sleep apnea，she says，“My life changed. ” Moss-T
19、ucker no longer needed naps and her energy levels，mental clarity and general moods improvedso much so that she cannot imagine one night without the CPAP，a machine with a mask that attaches to the nose，mouth or both, helping to force oxygen into the airway while the patient sleeps. If its used proper
20、ly，it is nearly 100 percent effective. But CPAPs(or BiPaps, which deliver alternating 1evels of oxygen)，which cost about $500 or more with the mask, can be not easy to use and the noise may be as disruptive to sleeping partners as snoring. Despite its efficiency，estimates of overall long-term usage
21、rates remain between 50 to 70 percent. For snorers who dont appear to have sleep apnea，there are other measures to avoid bad nights. They include：avoiding big meals and alcohol before bed；sleeping on ones side instead of the back；treating conditions like allergies and colds that can cause or worsen
22、snoring, and maintaining a healthy weight. There are also devices. which push the lower iaw forward to help keep the airway open. “They are effective in a fair number of snoring cases，”says NYUs Rapoport，but he cautions that they need to be custom fitted by dentist and can be expensive if not covere
23、d by insurance. Surgery on Snoring Problems Surgery to widen the airways or improve nasal airflow is also an option，though it also may not be covered by insurance and SUCCESS rates vary. UPPP, in which a surgeon removes tissue at the back of the throat, can require a hospital stay and a long recover
24、y；its typically used for patients with moderate obstructive sleep apnea. But other procedures can be performed under local anesthesia in a surgeons office, including laser-assisted LAUP，a modification of UPPP in which the surgeon uses a laser to cut the uvula. Patients who get LAUP can generally res
25、ume their normal routine almost immediately afterward, but they may require up to five treatments. Somnoplasty is another short office-based procedure；it uses low-power radiofrequency energy that reduces the volume of the soft palate tissue(located at the back of the roof of the mouth)but may requir
26、e more than one session. Nasal surgery may also be recommended for those with obstructions in the nose. Another treatment is the Pillar procedure, in which three tiny inserts are injected into the soft palate to offer support. Since its a newer procedure only approved by the FDA in August 2004，there
27、s less long-term data. “Studies are showing it does workbut to what extent is not really known yet，”says Rapoport. With several options but no magic bullet，experts say its important to have a full medical examination to determine the best course of action. But as lone as snoring is seen as more of a
