A Tony

My sleep problem is really quite serious, but a lot of people think that it’s normal and even funny. I snore at night when I’m asleep – and my wife says that it’s pretty loud! Now, I know snoring isn’t unusual and there is a lot of advice on how to stop someone snoring, but my snoring is different! It’s linked to something called sleep apnoea. When you snore it means that you can’t keep your throat open when you’re asleep. In my case, I actually stop breathing for ten seconds or more. It worries my wife but I always wake up afterwards!
