1) poor REM sleep (when caused by interrmittent blockages of glottal/bronchial passages and/or the breathing reflex itself is also known as "sleep apnea"). The intermittent blockages are often associated with loud snoring, excess weight, inflamation of epiglottis, uvula or tonsils
2) when this condition described in 1) is chronic, it may affect the endocrine system resulting in reduced production of the hormone testosterone.
3) reduced production of testosterone in males may adversely affect blood pressure, heart rythmn, sex drive, sexual performance and trigger other cardiac-related pathologies.
