Answer 2

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:

Allergies
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

Almost all cures for snoring revolve around clearing the blockage in the breathing passage. This is the reason snorers are advised to lose weight (to stop fat from pressing on the throat), to stop smoking (smoking weakens and clogs the throat), and to sleep on their side (to prevent the tongue from blocking the throat).

Cures include surgery (for example uvulopalatopharyngoplasty and uvulopalatoplasty), dental appliances such as a mandibular advancement splint, and devices such as nose clips to dilate the nostrils and jaw mechanics to keep the jaw in an optimum position. A pinky ring is purported to reduce snoring through accupressure.[8] Different aids work for different people. According to the British Medical Journal, playing the didgeridoo can also help, as it increases muscle usage in the throat.[9]

Haha yep I snore because I wake myself up sometimes. Having a deviated septum causes alot of mine. When I am really tired, I snore.

Answer 4

Don't ever take the sleeping pills route!!

1. They will damage your liver big time and you can get into serious health problems.

2. You will get hooked up on them and you won't be able to have a normal life any more if you don't take your pills everyday.

The sleeping pills industry is damaging our health by capitalizing on our ignorance, and by distracting people from effective and natural ways to deal with this problem. I had been taking prescription sleep medications [Ambien] for over 5 years. It stopped working and I simply took more. Still did not work. Nights were very difficult - medication put me to sleep but I would wake up after 2–3 hours with a strong sympathetic response (fast pulse, pounding heartbeat, wide awake alert). It was a very difficult cycle to break. I was really in bad shape due to lack of sleep.

After years of struggling I was able to cure my insomnia naturally and pretty fast. I followed the Sleep Tracks sleep optimization program, here is their official web -site if you want to take a look: http://www.insomniacure.net

Ohhh..and Good Luck!

Answer 5

Some people just can not help it. If you have sleep apnea like I do you will snore and it can be dangerous if not treated

I snore too, but I don't like people that snore if I am awake and trying to sleep any they are snoring.

Answer 7

Avoid drinking alcohol, eating heavy meals at least 4 hours before going to sleep. Nasal passages can be kept clear using a humidifier, inhaling steam, nasal strips and nasal sprays. A continuous positive airways pressure (CPAP) machine may also help, but it is available only on prescription.More remedies

Study links obesity and fatigue to snoring
by Mike Adams

Daily News Central reports that obesity and fatigue may be linked to obesity, poor academic performance, daytime sleepiness, hypertension, stroke and ischemic heart disease, according to a study by scientists at the Naval Medical Center in San Diego.

* Habitual snoring has been independently linked to obesity, poor academic performance, daytime sleepiness, hypertension, stroke and ischemic heart disease.
* There is no universal standard for measuring snoring, and the official definition -- "loud upper airway breathing sounds in sleep, without episodes of apnea or hyperventilation" -- is misleading.
* Individuals have a poor sense of how loud or how long they snore, and observers' perceptions are only a little better, studies have shown.
* Therefore, researchers set out to develop an objective method of measuring snoring, incorporating a new unattended home sleep-study device.
* They used a database containing anonymous records of 4,858 patients for whom snoring was measured by unattended home sleep studies.
* The sample included 4,151 males and 707 females with an average age of 54, ranging in age from 13 to 95 years.
* Snoring was a component of the chief complaint in 2,624 records.
* The researchers found a strong relationship between history of snoring and complaints of daytime sleepiness (80 percent), obesity (73 percent) and chronic fatigue (78 percent).
* In three multiple regression analyses, snoring time, average loudness and peak loudness were predicted to a significant degree by AHI (Apnea Hypopnea Index), BMI and age.
* The present study demonstrates that a patient's snoring history, as reported in the consultation referrals, is highly related to obesity, excessive daytime sleepiness and chronic fatigue symptoms, report the researchers.
* There ia a highly significant and independent association between the duration and loudness of snoring with Apnea Hypopnea Index and Body Mass Index.
* Average sustained loudness increased almost 20 dB between normal and severe AHI.
* Duration of sleep time spent snoring increased from 73 percent for normal AHI (in patients referred for sleep study) to 98 percent for severe AHI.
