Survey: Snoring Affects Daily Tasks Of Nearly Half Of U.S. Adults

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- A new survey shows nearly half of U.S. adults have their daily tasks affected by snoring.

According to a OnePoll study on behalf of Mute, 46% of American adults who snore or live with a heavy snorer say they've lost so much sleep due to snoring that it affects their day-to-day duties.

The survey also found residents of the northeastern United States are the most annoying snorers in the country. Fifty-three percent of residents there snore too loudly for their cohabitants.

The survey also asked people to describe what their snoring sounds like. Some of the most common answers were a growl, a train, Darth Vader and a jackhammer.
