Causes of Snoring

If you or a loved on has been suffering from snoring for any length of time, you’ve likely done your research already, so rehashing all of the details here would be redundant. However, we’ll briefly go over some of the main reasons of snoring.  Please keep in mind that everyone is different and the reason one person snores may be completely different from another.  It could be that there is no cheap, easy fix for you.  You may need medical attention.

In line with the advice above, try to determine if you, or the snorer, are suffering from plain old snoring, or if there is a much bigger issue, which is sleep apnea.  How can you do this?  Listen to the snorer, or if you are the snorer yourself, have someone else listen to you.  Does it seem as if you stop breathing for a few seconds between snores, or do you continue to inhale and exhale normally as you snore?  If it’s the first, obstructive sleep apnea is likely the cause, and you really should stop reading this and see a doctor.  That’s not to say that the device I recommend on this site won’t work for you, it very well might, but you should still avail yourself to a medical opinion.

Now, if you are in the second, continue to breath normally snoring category, there are a host of reasons as to why you may snore.  Some of them may be lifestyle issues that you may—or may not as the case may be—be able to change quite simply.  One cause may be your age, and yeah, we realize there is absolutely nothing you can do about that one, but as you age your throat becomes narrower, therefore shrinking your air passages.  Now, doesn’t this just beg the question?  Why, when everything else sags, does the throat close as you age??

Other causes may be hereditary. Or you may snore because of a smoking habit, being overweight, certain medications, alcohol or poor sleep posture.  The most obvious reason for snoring would be colds, the flu, sinus infections, allergies or asthma.  Any of these will clog up your airways and make snoring probable.

What is that sound, anyway?  We all have tissue—and no, I don’t mean Kleenex!—in our nose and throat, but some of us have more than others.  The more we have, the more there is to vibrate.  As we sleep, our muscles relax and so do our tissues.  And often, when things relax or let loose, they expand.  So now, our air passage is narrower, and all that tissue is vibrating against it.  The more tissue we have, and the more our airway contracts, the louder we snore.  It’s a vicious circle.
