A 66-year-old man has discovered the cause of his leg pain—snoring. As recounted in the New England Journal of Medicine by Dr. Neil Shear of Toronto, the man had gone to his doctor complaining of leg pain. Although given pain pills, he was awakened two nights later by a sharp pain in the calf of his right leg—caused by a kick from his wife. “Don’t kick me there. That’s just where my leg hurts!” the man told his wife. Her reply: “You were snoring again, and that is where I always kick you to stop it.”

I was laughing like crazy after reading this.  But seriously, snoring is really a huge problem for men and their wives.  My dad snores heavily too and i asked my mom how she manage to sleep with that.  She said that she wasn’t in the beginning, so they had an agreement that papa will let mama sleep before him.  That way, mom will not have a difficult time getting to sleep because of the noise.

At the moment, there are a lot of ways to help a person to stop snoring. There are devices that they can put in their mouth to enhance the passage of air. In extreme cases, an operation can also be done to reduce the airway obstruction.
