Regular snoring becomes more likely as you age. For me, the condition seems to have emerged about five years ago, in my early 30s, although it’s hard to pinpoint the precise beginning because I was asleep for it. Last summer, I finally did the responsible thing and took an at-home sleep study. My snoring turned out to be a symptom of obstructive sleep apnea, a condition that causes many snorers to wake up throughout the night to restart our breathing.
