From the words of Dr. of biological sciences Volodymyr Kovalzon, sleeping on the back is dangerous.

In his interview, the scientist called the position of a sleeping person in which the risk of a stroke increases. Kovalzon noted that in this regard, resting at night in the supine position is potentially dangerous – especially if there is a tendency to snoring. For those who snore a lot, this kind of sleep is harmful and brings them closer to a stroke,” the researcher warned.

Kovalzon added that the position “on the side” to some extent protects against severe snoring. However, if a person is snoring due to apnea, changing the position of the body is not a solution to the problem – the snoring will still occur and the person's brain will experience a lack of oxygen. Apnea with loud snoring and breathing stops during sleep, which interrupt the access of oxygen to the brain, require treatment by specialists.

How can a person understand that he is prone to this dangerous disorder, if there is no one around to tell her about snoring?

The biologist listed the symptoms:

• Cracked, tired after a normal sleep duration.
• Headaches.
• Problems with memory.
• Increased blood pressure.
