Sleep apnoea is a serious health problem linked to cardiac arrhythmias, heart attack, diabetes, stroke, obesity and narcolepsy (daytime sleepiness). Bodybuilders and high intensity athletes are at high risk of snoring and sleep apnoea because most have larger than normal necks, which promote airway obstruction. See your physician for a sleep study if you snore. A treatment technique called continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) reduces airway obstruction and health problems associated with sleep apnoea and snoring.
