A snoring kitten is cute; snoring that sounds like Darth Vader choking on an Ewok is not. The result of obstructed airflow in a sleeping person trying to breathe, snoring not only affects the sleep quality of the snorer at large but also makes all those within hearing distance lose sleep as well. So if you have a snoring problem, do yourself, your roommates and (if you have thin walls) your neighbors a favor see a doctor.
