Australian researchers claim that in people who snore there is always a phenomenon of partial respiratory arrest, nighttime is often suffocated even in very short time. At those moments, there will be 'starvation' of oxygen to supply the brain as well as the disruption of brain pressure and seriously affect the brain and cause the consequences.
