It is reported that 41.5% of the UK adult population - 15 million people, suffer from snoring. It is also estimated that approximately 1.5 million people in Britain have obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA); with symptoms reported by sufferers including morning headaches, excessive daytime sleepiness, irritability and depression.
