British scientists have developed a tiny device, of the size of a match box, that they believe could be a revolutionary cure for snoring. The device, which would be implanted in the chest, works by stimulating the heart muscles responsible for keeping the airways open during sleep.

A new study has revealed that heavy snoring help burn calories and, in fact, the more severe one's snoring the more calories one regularly burns even while one's awake, reported the 'Archives of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery' journal.

If you think that snoring is bad for your health, think again, for a study has suggested that the nocturnal snorts, whistles and wheezes can give you a long and healthy life, particularly if you are elderly.
