One thing that most people hate the most is having to sleep beside their partner who may snore a lot. Aside from the irritating noise, snoring is a dangerous symptom of a possible health disorder mainly because if affects the respiratory system of humans and may attack whenever we find ourselves sleeping.

There are sleeping masks and sleeping pills that have been introduced to the people concerned and apparently there is a new pill known only as BGC20-0166 which target areas of the brain and control the muscles of a sleeper’s airway and airflow.

Proper breathing is equally important for people with sleep problems. Obstructive sleep apnea is no joke and snoring is sure to set off some problems if they are not treated properly along the way.

The new drug is a combination of two existing anti-snoring drugs and in limited trials has so far proved more effective than either of the two drugs used independently, or a placebo.

‘The results from this trial demonstrate the potential of this drug to decrease sleep apnoea in some patients and normalise it in others,’ Thomas Roth, an advisor to the life sciences company BTG who are researching the drug and director of the Sleep Disorders and Research Centre at the Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, said.
