Abstract
Sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBD) can be classified into obstructive and nonobstructive breathing disorders of the upper airway; furthermore, the third edition of the ICSD again lists snoring with the SRBD. Even if there is important overlapping regarding diagnostics and therapy, the diseases are very different with regard to their etiology and pathogenesis. In particular, obstructive sleep-related breathing disorders are a widespread phenomenon. Not only the disease itself but also the public perception of obstructive sleep apnea has increased in past decades. Snoring of adults is of even higher prevalence and nearly ubiquitous in the media.
