Log sawing', as the condition is otherwise referred to can have consequences of medical importance. Although we are talking about snoring here, it would be important to note that this condition and apnea are closely related. Since apnea has to do with disrupted breathing, you can already imagine what nature of problems we are dealing with here.

Risks of stroke and heart attacks:

It has been found that there is a relationship between stroke and heart attacks. People who go down with these two major diseases are found to be snorers. This is in spite of their not having been diagnosed with apnea.

Reduction of oxygen flow /hypoxia:

Generally, as a close relation to apnea, snoring comes close to shutting up the flow of oxygen in the body. When the brain is deprived of oxygen, it could have serious consequences including death.

The lead on results of day-time sleepiness are simply terrible to imagine. They range from accidents on roads and work places, lack of concentration and underperformance.

Banishment from your bedroom:
