题目内容
There is nothing worse than the sound of someone snoring (打呼噜) if you are trying to fall asleep. Maybe people laugh at you about the noise you make in your sleep. Snoring isn’t just noisy. Sometimes it is a sign of a serious medical problem that should be treated by a doctor.
Snoring can happen to anyone, young or old. Snoring happens when a person can’t move air freely through his or her nose and mouth during sleep. People usually find out they snore from the people who live with them. Kids may find out they snore from a brother or sister or from a friend who sleeps over. Snoring keeps other people awake and probably doesn’t let the snoring person get top quality rest, either.
People with this disorder often wake up with bad headaches and feel exhausted all day long. They may be very sleepy and have difficulty staying awake while having a conversation or even while driving. Kids affected by snoring may be angry easily and have difficulty concentrating(集中注意力), especially in school and with homework.
According to the government survey, there are hundreds of anti-snoring devices（抵制打呼的设备） on the market. However, they may only work because they keep you awake. Other solutions include blocking the top of the bed up a few inches, changing sleeping positions and not eating a heavy meal or not drinking alcohol before bedtime. These kinds of “cures” may work only for someone who snores sometimes and lightly, or they may not work at all. If you can’t stop snoring or the snoring becomes heavy, it’s a good idea to see a doctor. Some people need to lose weight or change their diets to stop snoring. Sometimes medicines, or even surgeries are necessary.
