Reasons For Snoring

 

What are the causes and reasons for snoring?

 

There are many reasons for snoring. There are reasons that we can control, while some are out

of our hands.

 

These are some of the following reasons for snoring where we cannot blame ourselves:

 

 

Reasons For Snoring #1. Genetic predisposition

Some people are born with an anatomy that predisposes them to snore. Narrow throats,

hypertrophied or enlarged tonsils, short necks and enlarged mandibles or jaws are often the

reasons why an individual snores.

 

 

Reasons For Snoring #2. Congenital deformities

People who were born with cleft palate, poliomyelitis, and muscular dystrophy are at increased

risk for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. Abnormalities in the airway anatomy can obstruct the flow of air as it passes through airway passages.

 

 

Reasons For Snoring #3. Advancing age

Many people who snore are usually diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea in their 40s and above. This is due to increased weight and decreased muscle tone.

 

Reasons For Snoring #4. Male sex

There is a male preponderance to the incidence of snoring, which is maybe due to their narrower air passages as compared to those of women’s.

 

 

Reasons For Snoring #5. Atopy

Inflammation of the airways, which occur during a colds, asthma, sinus infections or allergies, can cause nasal congestion. The accumulated respiratory secretions block the airways, causing difficulty in breathing. This may create a vacuum that leads to snoring.

 

The following are the modifiable causes of snoring:

 

Reasons For Snoring #6. Obesity

Obesity increases the adipose or fat tissues in your throat, blocking the airways. Also, obese people have fat pads, or increased fat tissues around the neck area, making the airways narrower. This contributes to breathing difficulties and snoring.

 

 

Reasons For Snoring #7. Smoking

The substances present in cigarette smoke relax the throat muscles during inhalation, predisposing a person to snore. Also, smoking or second-hand smoke causes nasal congestion, blocking your airways.

 

 

Reasons For Snoring #8. Use of alcohol

Some people choose to drink alcohol before going to bed because, as they say, it relaxes them.

However, though it can contribute to your blissful sleep, alcohol relaxes your throat muscles, more than what is expected when you sleep. This causes airflow obstruction and snoring.

 

 

Reasons For Snoring #9. Use of medications

Sleeping pills and drugs that make you drowsy can decrease air ventilation and reduce muscle

tone, making you prone to snoring. These medications cause relaxation of the throat muscles as

well, causing the pharynx to partially collapse and cause airway obstruction.

 

 

Reasons For Snoring #10. Sleeping position

Lying in supine position causes your tongue fall back, causing further obstruction of your airways. The obstruction narrows your airways, making you snore.

 

Knowledge is key when you are tackling any problem. Snoring is no different. If you don’t know what the cause of your problem is, solving it is a can prove to be a tough road indeed.

Signs of OSA

Signs of OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnea)

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a serious snoring disorder that causes the snorer to temporarily stop breathing during their sleep. About 90 % of people with this problem are completely clueless to the fact this is even happening to them.

It is usually their partner who has gone mad with sleepless nights who urges them to do something about it. Often, not only does OSA affect your physical well being, but it also affects your social and personal life.  People who suffer from OSA are typically anxious, irritable, and have a hard time concentrating on simple daily tasks.

Aside from snoring, the signs of OSA will vary depending on the time of day. If you are overweight, the signs of OSA may include abnormalities of the airway due to the excess fat around the throat.  In these cases, the possibility of you having OSA increases dramatically.

Nighttime Signs of OSA include

• Heavy snoring
• Pauses of at least 10 seconds of non breathing.
• Restless sleep
• Choking during sleep
• Heartburn
• Excessive sweating
• Frequent urination at night

Daytime Signs of OSA include:

• Decrease in sexual drive
• Irritability
• Morning headaches
• Excessive daytime sleepiness
• Difficulty in concentrating on mental tasks
• Tendency to become forgetful
• Increased tendency to become depressed
• Easy fatigability

The cycle of sleep apnea can last from 20 seconds to 3 minutes, occurring often throughout the sleeping period. If this happens more than fifteen times per night, this can also indicate another of established signs of OSA.

It is also possible for a condition called central sleep apnea to occur in people who have OSA. In this case, the brain controlled respiration is malfunctions, decreasing the amount of oxygen to get to the brain. Because of this, the brain cells may die. The brain is very dependent on oxygen.

If you are having trouble sleeping soundly and it is followed by at least 2 or 3 signs of OSA, particularly if you are overweight, it may be time to talk to a doctor about what’s going on with you.

The physiological and mental damage that obstructive sleep apnea can and usually does causes is not worth the delay.

Sleep Well and Take Care,

Maria

Snore Prevention

Are you guilty of being a snorer or are you the sleepless partner of the snorer?  The causes of snoring vary across the board, which should be known. However, wouldn’t snore prevention be much more effective than spending tons of money on cures?

Listed below are ten tips to aide you in your snore prevention journey with a brief description of how and why it will help cut down your snoring drastically. Make sure to incorporate these tips and share your results with the world so everyone can get a better night’s sleep.

Snore Prevention Tip #1 – Maintain a healthy lifestyle by eating well balanced meals and maintaining a regular exercise regimen. People who exercise on a regular basis consistently tend to get more restful sleep.

Snore Prevention Tip #2 – Sleep on your side. Sleeping on your back pulls your tongue back into your posterior pharynx, which causes snoring. Train yourself to not sleep on your back anymore.

Snore Prevention Tip #3 – Stay away from alcohol and tranquilizers because both depress your central nervous system, causing the muscles in your throat and jaw to relax. This may sound like a good idea at first, but when your throat and jaw  are in this state, it only brings on snoring.

Snore Prevention Tip #4 – Lose some weight. The reason why is because excess body fat around the neck puts pressure on the air, which causes turbulence to outgoing air. The air in turn causes the noise you hear during snoring.

Snore Prevention Tip #5- Treat you allergies treated, particularly nasal congestion. If you suffer from allergy congestion, it forces you to breathe through your mouth. This of course brings on snoring.

Snore Prevention Tip #6- Put out the cigarettes. Smoking irritates the lining of the upper airways, including the nose. Irritation of the upper airways causes nasal congestion, which in turn leads to snoring.

Snore Prevention Tip #7- Since sleep deprivation increases the volume of your snoring, it is important that you train your body to adopt a regular sleep cycle. This also helps with daytime sleepiness.

Snore Prevention Tip #8- Elevate your head when you are sleeping eases pressure off your airways.

Snore Prevention Tip #9 – Avoid eating a heavy meal 3-4 hours before bedtime. Eating a big meal may exert pressure on your diaphragm, making it work harder. This increases the likelihood of snoring.

Snore Prevention Tip #10 – Doing tongue exercises strengthens the muscles of the throat. An example of a tongue exercise is repeatedly sticking out your tongue. Another exercise is touching the floor of your mouth with your tongue and holding it there for about 5-7 seconds.
