You may be one of the 45% of average adults who snore on occasion, or you probably know someone who does. A snoring spouse often keeps the other person from a good night’s sleep, which can eventually lead to sleeping in separate bedrooms.
Research shows about half of us snore at some point in our lives. Snoring is more common in men, though many women snore. It appears to run in families and becomes more common as you get older. About 40 percent of adult men and 24 percent of adult women are habitual snorers.
