How To Stop Snoring: Causes And Remedies by Nobody: 9:10pm On Mar 08, 2015
Http//:www.juniortuoyo..com . Just about everyone snores occasionally, but if
snoring happens frequently it can affect the
quantity and quality of your sleep and that of
your family members and roommates. Snoring
can lead to poor sleep and daytime fatigue,
irritability, and increased health problems. If
your snoring keeps your partner awake, it can
also create major relationship problems.
Thankfully, sleeping in separate bedrooms isn’t
the only remedy for snoring. There are many
other effective solutions available.
The causes of snoring: Identify the cause to
find the cure
Not all snoring is the same. In fact, everyone
snores for different reasons. When you get to
the bottom of why you snore, then you can find
the right solutions to a quieter, deeper sleep.
People who snore often have too much throat
and nasal tissue, or “floppy” tissue that is more
prone to vibrate. The position of your tongue
can also get in the way of smooth breathing.
Evaluating how and when you snore will help
you pinpoint whether the cause of your snoring
is within your control or not. The good news is
that no matter how and when you snore, there
are solutions to making your snoring better.
Where does the snoring sound come from?
Snoring happens when you can't move air
freely through your nose and mouth during
sleep. Often caused by the narrowing of your
airway, either from poor sleep posture or
abnormalities of the soft tissues in your throat.
A narrow airway gets in the way of smooth
breathing and creates the sound of snoring.
Common causes of snoring
Age. As you reach middle age and beyond,
your throat becomes narrower, and the
muscle tone in your throat decreases.
The way you’re built. Men have narrower air
passages than women and are more likely to
snore. A narrow throat, a cleft palate,
enlarged adenoids, and other physical
attributes that contribute to snoring are often
hereditary.
Nasal and sinus problems. Blocked airways
make inhalation difficult and create a vacuum
in the throat, leading to snoring.
Being overweight or out of shape. Fatty
tissue and poor muscle tone contribute to
snoring.
Alcohol, smoking, and medications. Alcohol
intake, smoking, and certain medications can
increase muscle relaxation leading to more
snoring.
Sleep posture. Sleeping flat on your back
causes the flesh of your throat to relax and
block the airway.
Is it just snoring or sleep apnea?
Snoring could indicate sleep apnea, a
potentially life-threatening condition that
requires medical attention. Sleep apnea is a
breathing obstruction, causing the sleeper to
keep waking up to begin breathing again.
Normal snoring doesn’t interfere with the
quality of your sleep as much as sleep apnea,
so if you’re suffering from extreme fatigue and
sleepiness during the day, your problem may
be more than just snoring.
Don’t let snoring damage your relationship
Is snoring causing a rift in your relationship? No
matter how much you love each other, the loss
of sleep from frequent snoring can strain a
relationship as well as put your partner’s health
at risk.
When snoring is a problem, relationship
tension can grow in the following ways:
Sleeping alone. If you or your partner
snores, one of the easiest solutions is for you
to sleep apart in different rooms. This often
results in a lack of needed physical intimacy,
straining the relationship. And if you’re the
one snoring, you might feel lonely, isolated,
and frustrated about something you feel you
have no control over.
Snoring spats. It’s common to be irritable
when sleep loss is an issue, but try reining in
your frustration. Remember, you want to
attack the snoring problem—not your sleep
partner.
Partner resentment. When a non-snorer
feels he or she has done everything possible
to sleep through the night (ear plugs, noise
machines, etc.) but his or her partner does
nothing to combat his or her own snoring, it
can lead to resentment. Working as a team to
find a snoring cure can prevent future fights.
If you value your relationship, make it your
priority to find a snoring cure so you can both
sleep soundly. Working together to stop
snoring can even be an opportunity to improve
the quality of your bond and become more
deeply connected.
