Heavy Snorers Burn More Calories, Study Says

People who snore heavily are likely to burn more calories than those who snore lightly, even if they are awake, Londons Daily Mail reported.
Researchers from the University of California, San Francisco, discovered people with serious snoring problems burned around 2,000 calories a day, compared to people who snored lightly.
However, snoring is still not a healthy habit it can be the result of an underlying health problem, such as obesity or sleep apnea.
Snoring might be linked to energy metabolism, which could explain why some sufferers gain weight easily.
Scientists studied 212 patients, all of whom snored or had sleeping-related conditions, such as sleep apnea.
Obesity is a major risk factor for the development of sleep-disordered breathing and changes in body weigh are associated with changes in sleep-disordered breathing severity, the researchers wrote in the journal Archives of Otolaryngology Head & Neck Surgery.

OK
Then why is the larger a person you are the better chance of being a loud snorer
It should be the opposite, and the weight should correct itself
