does sleeping tablets cause snoring?

Question

if yes, pls answer why it causes snoring?

Answer 1

sleeping pills help a good nice undisturbed sleep. one snors if there is any sort of breathing or inhaling probs while sleeping in some/particulars positions one snors it does not matter whether you take pills or not

Answer 2

No there is no relation with taking sleeping tablets and snoring. If you snore while sleepin even without tablets you ill snore after taking them and you wont if were not snoring earlier as simple as that basically snoring is caused by when your soft palate or uvula (a structure that hangs when you open the mouth) obstructs the nasal openings in throat. As the air that we inspire strikes against it it produces a sound. And sleeping tablets act by depressing the parts of our brain involved in keeping us alert and awake ( this part is know as retictlar activating substance ). So sleeping pills act on brain and not on throat or in way of air. I hope i was clear

Answer 3

It is possible that they do. Sleeping pills are sedatives that make you tired, calm, relaxed, slows your breathing, and most importantly with regard to snoring, causes slower reflexes. Snoring occurs as a result of vibrating respiratory structures due to an obstruction of breathing. This can occur for many reasons, but usually has to do with allergies, throat weaknesses like asthma, or in most cases, obstruction of the nasal passageway. What most likely happens with sleeping pills, is it puts you in a very deep sleep, and if you move into an awkward position that blocks the nasal passageway, since your responses and movements are slower and more limited, you are less likely to unconsciously move out of that position. This, combined with the sedatives that could cause your throat muscles to relax and close up, could cause snoring. So yes, they *could* cause snoring, but it is not necessarily the case.

Answer 4

It will not , please do not believe this statement. I am taking sleeping tablets for more than 25 years and getting good sleep. My wife never complained me that I am snoring. Snoring is because of wind pipe problem and breathing problem and many times it is due to lung infection and common cold only. Yours VRVRAO

Answer 5

sleeping tablets can put you into a very deep sleep that the muscles in your throat relaxes too much which causes snoring. even without the pills if you sleep deeply or sleep on your back then the chances are high for you to snore.

There is no correlation between taking sleeping tablets and snoring. Most snorers donot take sleeping tablets.

Answer 8

The short answer is yes but it is only one of the possibilities.

See the list of causes and risk factors for snoring below.

Heredity
You can inherit a narrow throat, which can cause snoring.

Being overweight
Excess weight and fatty tissue in the neck cause your throat to become smaller.

Being middle-aged or beyond
As you age, your throat becomes narrower, and the muscle tone in your throat decreases.

Being male
Men have narrower air passages than do women and are more likely to snore.

A history of smoking or exposure to secondhand smoke
Smoking relaxes muscles and also creates nasal and lung congestion. Exposure to secondhand smoke can cause the same snoring problems as smoking does.

Lack of fitness
Poor muscle tone and lax muscles contribute to snoring.

Nasal deformities, such as a deviated septum
Nasal irregularities can cause obstructed breathing.

Enlarged adenoids or tonsils
Larger than usual adenoids or tonsils can cause obstruction of the airway and additional vibration during breathing.

A long soft-palate or uvula
A long soft palate or uvula dangles in the throat and can cause fluttery noises during relaxed breathing.

Alcohol or medications (sleeping pills or antihistamines)
Alcohol and certain medications increase relaxation of throat and tongue muscles, which makes snoring more likely.

Allergies, asthma, a cold, or sinus infections
Such breathing problems cause blockage in your nasal airways and make inhalation difficult. This in turn creates a vacuum in your throat, and noisy breathing.

Sleeping on your back
Sleeping flat on your back allows the flesh of your throat to relax and block the airway. Moderate snorers tend to snore only when sleeping on their backs.

Sleeping on overly soft pillows
Pillows increase the angle of your neck and can contribute to obstruction of your airway, which causes snoring.

Answer 9

yes, they can, if a person goes into a very deep sleep, they relax the muscles in the throat and the uvula which causes the throat to be blocked a bit...thus the snoring.. the vibration of the tissues flapping while sleeping.....

Answer 10

As a matter of fact, they really do. Believe it or not, when you are in that deep of a sleep you tend to snore verses when you are in your regular sleep (w/o sleeping pills) you are more conscious and not in such a deep sleep.
