A lot of factors can contribute to snoring, says Voigt. We can control some of the underlying triggers. For instance, drinking alcohol is linked to snoring. Alcohol tends to make the tissues within our mouths swell a bit, and alcohol can also change the quality of sleep.
This pattern of snoring can be a sign of obstructive sleep apnea, which is a serious condition that can increase the risk of heart disease. What happens to people with this condition is that the airway will collapse in on itself and close. "And as the person is trying to breathe in, the air will not pass. That's what the apnea is," Voigt explains.

Rude vegetables sent in by viewers were notably memorable, cropping up in The Times more than 20 years after That's Life! ended.[40])Equally popular were the talented pets discovered by the show, which included singing dogs, dogs that played football, and talking dogs like Prince who said "sausages",[41] a cat who played ping-pong, ([42]) dogs who caught soda water from a syphon ([43]) and many others including a horse that could count and racing bunnies.Besides the pets there were "talented tots", such as toddlers who could play the piano, snooker and golf.Talented passers-by were also featured every week in the vox pops at the start of the show, notably Annie Mizen, who was discovered in a street market in her eighties and became a star.[44]Esther Rantzen was arrested for obstruction when vox popping in the North End Road.[45][46] The resulting film took pride of place in her edition of This Is Your Life in which the arresting officer P.C. A. Herbert was a surprise guest.[47] During its 21-year run That's Life! was broadcast three times on April 1st, and each time created a prank film to fool the viewers. The first directed by Nick Handel appeared to show a dog that could drive.[48]The second was an animal in London Zoo called a Lirpa Loof.[49] starring David Bellamy, which persuaded charabanc-loads of visitors to search the zoo for the non-existent animal with purple droppings. The third was a face cream made from rhinoceros spit that eradicated wrinkles from the face but transferred them to a backside, thus imperilling marriages. Edwina Currie, ex Health Minister, promised to mention this to the Prime Minister.[50]
Their call sounds like a rapid snoring with each croak lasting up to 1.5 seconds. They call both in day and night during their mating season. These frogs call out in a loud croaking sound when threatened.
I think there was an explosion. But I can't be sure. It happened while I was sleeping. It woke me up. The ship was no luxury liner. It was a grimy, hardworking cargo ship not designed for paying passengers or for their comfort. There were all kinds of noises all the time. It was precisely because the level of noise was so uniform that we slept like babies. It was a form of silence that nothing disturbed, not Ravi's snoring nor my talking in my sleep. So the explosion, if there was one, was not a new noise. It was an irregular noise. I woke up with a start, as if Ravi had burst a balloon in my ears. I looked at my watch. It was just after four-thirty in the morning. I leaned over and looked down at the bunk below. Ravi was still sleeping. 2ff7e9595c
