145A new study collected data that shows that people who snore are more likely to gain weight than are people who do not snore. It is well known that many people who snore also stop breathing frequently during the night for a few seconds, a condition called sleep apnea. The interruption of breathing wakes the person—often so briefly that the waking goes unnoticed—and can leave the person too tired during the day to exercise. Anyone who snores, therefore, should try to eat less than the average person and to exercise more.

In the argument, the arguer attempts to convince us that anyone who snores should try to eat less than the average person and to exercise more. To substantial the claim, the arguer provides the evidence that people who snore would stop breathing frequently during the night for a few seconds. The argument also depends on the assumption that the interruption of breathing wakes the person and can leave the person too tired during the day to exercise. As it stands, however, the arguer suffers from several flaws for the following reasons.

First of all, there is few evidence that people who snore are more likely to gain weight than are people who do not snore. It is not inevitable that snore would result in gaining weight, but, on the contrary, the fatty is always more likely snoring during the night as a widely accepted fact. The arguer treats the cause of the sequence of snore as if it were the result of the snore. In addition, the arguer fails to see other causes to gain weight. Are the people who snore, chosen for the study, eating too much or never doing exercise? If so, the study is unconvincing without ruling out other causes to gain weight.

What is more, even if people who snore are more likely to gain weight, it is impossible that all the people who snore would stop breathing frequently during the night for a few seconds. The kinds of snore are various, so it is presumptuous to affirm that all the people who snore would suffer from sleep apnea. In short, the arguer fails to establish a reasonable relationship between the sleep apnea and snoring.

Further more, the fact that the interruption of the breathing can leave the person too tired during the day to exercise is unfounded. It appears reasonable, for people who snore to rest than to do some sports. However, exercise is a habit, which has nothing to do with the snoring. If the assumption that snore during the night would make the people tired is true, as the arguer presents, the way that anyone who snores should not try to eat less than the average person, which would undoubtedly do harm in their health.

To sum up, for what have been discussed above, the reasoning behind snoring seems logical as presented above. However, before any final decisions are made, the arguer should rule out other possible alternatives and causes that give rise to the snore. To strengthen the argument, the arguer should have a further study on the snore to give a confidently conclusion.
