1 Stop Snoring

Everybody knows what snoring is and how it generally sounds like. It is basically a rough sound caused by breathing through the nose in a certain manner. It then causes a vibration of the soft palate. The noise created is because there is an irregular passage of air at places in the mouth where there may be partial obstruction of breathing. Snoring sounds may differ from soft to loud, but is usually irritating to anyone kept awake because of it.

For most people, snoring is not a big problem. As a matter of fact, most people snore occasionally. People usually think men snore more than women do, but it can happen to anyone. Young, old, male, female… Literally anyone could snore at night and not even know it. Men and people who are overweight tend to snore more often though. Sometimes, adenoids cause snoring as well, especially in children.

Snoring can happen in several other ways. For instance, while sleeping, a partial relaxation of the muscles that hold the vocal cords can happen, so they end up going close together and obstruct air passage.

Snoring could also happen in deep sleep (or even when unconscious), when a person is lying on his back. Sometimes, the tongue falls back and partially closes the opening where air passes. This is what causes “stertor,” a noisy breathing that usually happens during concussions and apoplexy.

Another cause of snoring is mucus. Sometimes, mucus may collect in the nose or in the passages behind it, most likely due to inflammation or irritation. It could also happen if the muscles of the throat and nose are abnormally tense, they can also interfere with air passing through. If the nose is blocked and the lips are very tight together, a whistling sound comes out as the air passes out.

Snoring isn’t much of a problem. It rarely disturbs the person who snores, though it can, as previously mentioned, annoy whoever else is awake. Often, the snorer will stop if he has changed sleeping positions.
