A literature review was made through sources of articles involving this disorder. This study revealed that after a period of sleep deprivation, the normal individuals, became snoring, and the snoring individuals became individuals’ apneics. Snoring individuals have their sleep fragmented and therefore may have daytime sleepiness. The daytime sleepiness is cause of reducing the performance of various tasks, and when such tasks include the direction, there is the inclusion of this activity in danger.
