Bedwetting and snoring have been linked in both adults and children, Dr. Emmanouel I. Alexopoulos of Larissa University Hospital and colleagues note in their report Treating the cause of snoring — for example, by removing the adenoids and tonsils, can also stop bedwetting.
To clarify the relationship between snoring and bedwetting, the researchers evaluated 1,821 children between the ages of 5 to 14 years old, 2.4 percent of whom had a history of bedwetting. Those who snored more than three times a week, 7.4 percent of the total, were classified as habitual snorers.
