Millions of people suffer from snoring. Whether it's the snorer themselves or the person sleeping with the snorer. Most people can describe what snoring sounds like, but not many can actually answer the question, "What is snoring?"
Essentially snoring, or the snoring sound, is made when the soft tissue on the top palate relaxes during sleep and is vibrated by breathing, or the vibration caused by breathing when the uvula,that triangular piece of tissue hanging from the roof of your mouth, is swollen or enlarged. Snoring can also be a symptom of obstructive sleep apnea, during which a person's airway is so restricted that they partially awaken, sometimes hundreds of times each night to breathe, and not remember waking up.
There are several leading factors that are believed to be cause of this nighttime nuisance. Being overweight or obese is a huge factor in snoring. By dropping the pounds you can greatly reduce the chance of snoring. If you struggle with your weight, like I do, it may be time to consider a quality exercise and weight loss program to help you through your struggles. Too much fat can thicken your throat and block normal air passage.
Too much alcohol, cigarettes and other drugs play a part in snoring as well. When the tissues in the throat are too relaxed, they form a small blockage in the throat which results in constant snoring. A weak immune system can also be a cause of snoring.
When your immune system is weak, it makes you more susceptible to colds and flu. We all know that during flu season the snoring increases tenfold.Obstructed nasal passages such as a stuffy nose can cause snoring. Taking vitamins and daily exercise will greatly improve your immune system and help fight off cold and flu symptoms
To stop snoring, try to reduce weight, sleep on your side, sleep without a pillow, try to elevate the head at least four inches from the bed, avoid smoking and secondary smoke, do not eat heavy food or alcohol before bed and say no to high-fat dairy products before bed time. Try decongestants to clear nasal passages as well.
Most people simply want to know how to stop from snoring, or help their loved ones stop snoring. You can get information for the curing and prevention of snoring from my blog, but for now I hope I've given you the ability to answer the question,"What is snoring"?
