A 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.

The arguer recommends people who snore to eat less and exercise more. To support this recommendation, the arguer illustrates a new study and asserts that people who snore will become too tired during the day to exercise. However, the arguer's conclusion is not convincing enough to be accepted by ordinary people.
First of all, the credibility and representability of the data in the study are questionable. Are the data accurate enough to deduce correct results? Can the data represent the vast majority of people? If the data collection is not believable and only refers to a limited group of people, or if those who snore are genetically fatter than those who do not, it is unreasonable to conclude from the study that the former are more likely to gain weight than are the latter and recommend the former to eat less and exercise more.
Besides, no evidence indicates that the interruption of breathing wakes the person who snores. As it is said by the arguer that such interruptions, a condition called sleep apnea, the stopping of breath for a few seconds happening when people snores, are often so briefly that the waking goes unnoticed, then how can these interruptions be confirmed? Therefore, it is unverified to claim that people who snores are usually woken up during the night by sleep apnea.
Furthermore, even if the interruption of breathing wakes people who snore, no additional information shows that such a phenomenon makes them too tired to exercise. On one hand, the tiredness during the day can be caused by many other factors, such as pressure and heavy work. On the other hand, the amount of exercise is influenced by interests and exercising time available. As a result, it is unsubstantiated to associate the tiredness or little exercise during the day with snoring during the night.
In conclusion, the study mentioned by the arguer is questionable, and the relationship between snoring and little exercising is doubtful. As a result, it is hard to adopt the arguer's recommendation that people who snore should eat less and exercise more because they are more likely to gain weight than others.
