Do you Snore?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Snoring is the vibration of respiratory structures and the resulting sound, due to obstructed air movement during breathing while sleeping. The sound may be soft or loud and unpleasant. The structures are usually the uvula and soft palate. The irregular airflow is caused by a blockage, due to causes including:

Throat weakness causing the throat to close during sleep 
Mispositioned jaw, often caused by tension in muscles 
Fat gathering in and around the throat 
Obstruction in the nasal passageway 
Snoring is known to cause sleep deprivation to both the snorer and those who hear them, as well as knock-on effects: daytime drowsiness, irritability, lack of focus, decreased libido.^[4] It has also been suggested that it can cause significant psychological and social damage to sufferers.
