Science Behind Snoring And Techniques To Stop It. by philcz(m): 7:57am On Nov 01, 2015 |
Being poked in the ribs from the other side of the bed is never fun, particularly considering the fact that nobody chooses to snore - it just happens. As we sleep, muscle tone relaxes throughout the body, including the upper airways. If there's any sort of obstruction or narrowing up there, the flow of air results in rumbling vibrations of the soft tissue at the back of the throat. Obstructions of the snore-inducing kind can be various - a really common one is obesity, because there's extra fat on the neck, weighing down the relaxed throat muscles during sleep and narrowing the airways. If you've ever had a flatmate who sounds like a chainsaw after a big night out, you already know that alcohol is a fairly typical cause of snoring, too - this is because alcohol is a relaxant, and a more relaxed throat results in louder snores. Other problems that lead to snoring include nasal congestion due to a cold or allergies; swollen tonsils; or possibly anatomical problems, such as a bent nostril (typically from a broken nose), or enlarged tongue, or even adenoids. Some people try to avoid sleeping on their back because snoring appears to get worse - this is because the tongue falls back and compresses the airways. For overweight people the first advice is to try and drop a few pounds, because even moderate weight loss can reduce the thunderous vibrations. If you snore only while on your back, so-called positional therapy can help - it doesn't do away with snoring, but instead helps position your body at night so that sleeping on your back isn't an option. http://www.sciencealert.com/here-s-why-some-people-snore-and-how-you-can-stop-it |
