Five Causes Of Snoring

Snoring is a noisy breathing while you sleep. It’s a common condition that can affect anyone, although it happens more often in men and in people who are overweight.  Snoring tends to get worse with age and has caused misunderstanding among partners in most cases.

Even more, it has serious repercussions on the well-being of the individual as the person will be constrained in the daytime on account of the interrupted sleep pattern.

There are now remedies that reasonably remove snoring including CPAP machine which is yet to become very popular in Nigeria.

Snoring can be traced to the following five causes;

Sleep deprivation

Not getting enough sleep can lead to further throat relaxation and result into snoring

Mouth anatomy

People who are overweight may have extra tissues in the back of their throats that may narrow their airways. Likewise, if the triangular piece of tissue hanging from the soft palate (uvula) is elongated, airflow can be obstructed and vibration increased.

Alcohol consumption

Too much alcohol intake especially before bed time can also cause snoring.   Alcohol relaxes throat muscles and decreases your natural defenses against airway obstruction.

Nasal   problems

Chronic nasal congestion or a crooked partition between your nostrils (deviated nasal septum) may contribute to your snoring.

Sleep position

Snoring is typically most frequent and loudest when sleeping on the back as gravity’s effect on the throat narrows the airway.
