Snoring can mean more than nighttime frustration and daytime exhaustion for the partner who's kept awake. It can be a sign that the snorer's own life and health are at risk.

The menace comes from a condition called obstructive sleep apnea.

Several companies make devices that provide "continuous positive airway pressure," or CPAP, to combat sleep apnea.

Respironics Inc. controls over 50% of the U.S. market and is driving for more.

"The sleep apnea market is vastly underpenetrated," said Dan Bevevino, a Respironics vice president..

The company makes a range of small machines that gently force air past the soft tissues that close in the throat to cut off breathing.
