But as muscles relax during sleep, the upper airway can become partially blocked, causing the soft tissue in the throat to vibrate and creating the cumbersome noise that is snoring. Loud and frequent snoring is a common warning sign for obstructive sleep apnea, which is a serious sleep illness. Over time, sleep apnea can increase the risk of high blood pressure, a weakened immune system, depression, diabetes, heart disease and more.

■ LAKE MEAD — Fishing has been hit or miss. Striped bass seem to be scattered throughout the lake as those with fish finders are not identifying many schools. Those stripers that are being caught look healthy. With the forecast for the weekend being warmer but overcast, perhaps it’s a good time to get your line out on the water. The word on shad is mixed. Some are finding them; others are not. Anchovies are a decent substitute. Various plugs and lures are also suitable imitations.
