    Doctors all asked the same question about the patients in the hospital who had traffic accidents: "Are you snoring?" They raised their eyebrows and found this question ridiculous. But snoring is the cause of one-third of car accidents. Most of these accidents happen on highways. Snoring is medically called Sleep Apnea Syndrome (SAS). Snoring is closely related to obesity. The incidence of men over 40 years old is extremely high. The current incidence accounts for 2% to 4% of the entire population, which is equivalent to diabetes and hypertension.
