This could be a warning sign of sleep apnea (OSA): long-term habitual mouth breathing is prone to snoring. If the airway repeatedly collapses and becomes blocked, it is clinically known as sleep apnea, which is also a common precursor to serious illness that causes nightmares in adults and children.

Avarice

excessive or inordinate desire of gain; greed for wealth*
