Snoring: Causes And Remedies by tuoyoojo(m): 6:58am On Feb 14, 2016
Snoring is noisy breathing during sleep caused by vibrating tissue in the upper airway. It is a common problem caused by airway resistance and affects nearly all of the population at some time during their lives.

Those who are obese, smoke, drink alcohol, are male or have frequent nasal congestion are more prone to habitual snoring. Snoring can be harmless or it can be a sign of a serious medical disorder known as Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).

Any individual who snores should consult with a medical or dental provider to help determine both the underlying cause and the appropriate interventions necessary to stop the snoring.

Causes And Treatment Of Snoring

Snoring is a common condition that can also affect sleeping partners and other members of the household.
When you are awake, the tissues in the throat and upper airway are open for easy air intake to the lungs. During sleep, the soft tissues and tongue relax, and can partially block the airway.

If the air coming in and out of the airway meets enough resistance, snoring can occur. Depending on the cause, there are several things that can be done to stop snoring.

The following is a list of different ways in which snoring can be treated and potentially reduced. Each tip also provides further information about the causes of snoring.

Avoid alcohol and sedating medications:

Drugs that are depressants or sedatives relax muscles, causing them to collapse. Alcohol should be avoided for at least four hours prior to sleep and any prescription or over-the-counter sleep aids should be taken under the guidance of a health care professional.

Relieve nasal obstruction:

Nasal strips, corticosteroid and moisturizing nasal sprays, antihistamines and a room humidifier can help reduce the nasal inflammation and obstruction that leads to snoring.

Change sleep positions:

Snoring is more common when sleeping on your back as the relaxed tongue is more likely to block the airway. Sleeping on your side, elevating the head of the bed a few inches, or using a “snore pillow” to improve neck position can be tried. Sewing a tennis ball or other soft object in the back of a sleep shirt might help prevent rolling over to the back sleeping position.

Lose weight:

Excessive fat tissue can surround and narrow the airway, causing snoring from the obstructed airflow.

!

Quit smoking:

Tobacco smoke is an irritant that can result in tissue inflammation. Because the upper airway can be narrow to begin with, even small amounts of inflammation can restrict airflow.

Good sleep hygiene:

Follow a good sleep hygiene program by getting consistent sleep on a comfortable bed, in a dark, cool room. Inadequate sleep can lead to obesity and subsequent snoring.

There are several surgical procedures that can help reduce snoring but because of the low success rates and potential health risks, surgery should only be considered as a last resort.

Before resorting to surgery to stop snoring, there are quite a few anti snoring devices out there which can help. The most popular is a chin strap which keeps our mouth closed and the jaw slightly forward and has a high success rate in stopping snoring. There are also nasal dilators, snore rings and mandibular advancement devices. Many are available
