Sleep apnea syndrome is distinguished by periodic breathing disturbances during sleep. The beginning is mostly an intense snoring, where breathing stops, the muscles slacken and the tongue falls back into the throat, threatening the danger of suffocation. This also lowers the oxygen level in the blood, causing people to gasp for more air. The consequences are heavy limbs in the morning, a distinct tiredness during the day and lack of concentration.

Snoring means that a person does not talk about his true feelings, which means his heart is not on his tongue, and this closeness is expressed by snoring in his sleep.
