Snoring and nightmares.
To test the conclusion of a recent study that snoring and disturbing dreams are strongly associated, 199 university undergraduates responded to a questionnaire that assessed their level of snoring and the frequency with which they experienced fantastic nightmares. Contrary to data provided by this recent study, we did not find a significant relationship between snoring and disturbing dreams. Some possible reasons for the discrepancy between these data sets were considered.
