Snoring, medical term apnea, is a medical indicator, placing you at higher risk of serious medical conditions such as diabetes, strokes, and heart attacks.

Your life insurance rates go up if they find out.

My wife snitched on me to my doctor, I had a sleep study at a clinic, and now I use a CPAP machine when I sleep, which supposedly helps.

Edit: Oh yeah, and snoring/apnea is linked to grinding your teeth, which can lead to root canals, tooth extraction.

Not fun or cheap.

    Life insurance isn't health insurance. It pays out when you die so your family isn't fucked over by funeral costs and the sudden loss in income.

    No it's not. Life insurance premiums here go up when you have certain conditions (especially without getting them treated). Health insurance premiums here are pretty heavily regulated on such things, and they just offer a few discounts for a handful of things like getting an annual checkup, not smoking, and getting vaccinated.

    Do you feel more rested now or notice any difference?

    I'm not the person you asked, but I've been on my CPAP for a year now. Yes, it does what they say, but I hate it with a passion. She can sleep, but now I wake up 4 times a night feeling like the damn thing is suffocating me.
