Snoring Treatment
Snoring occurs when air cannot flow freely through the airway as a person sleeps. This causes the upper airway tissues to vibrate, resulting in the sound heard when someone snores.
Snoring
Snoring is common.
If you snore, you aren’t alone. Here are the facts:
- 50% or more of people in the U.S. snore from time to time
- Around 25% of these snore nearly all the time
- Men tend to snore more often than women
What causes snoring?
The rattling and vibration of tissues near the airway in the back of the throat cause snoring. When these tissues relax and partially block the airway, they vibrate as air passes through, creating the sound of snoring.
Several factors can contribute to snoring, including:
- Obesity
- Alcohol consumption
- Smoking
- Sleeping on your back
- Nasal congestion
- Sleep apnea
It’s often hard to tell why someone snores, but it shouldn’t be ignored, and those suffering from snoring should get tested for sleep apnea.
