Snoring, Eh? A Look At What Makes You A Snorer
Posted by Virginia Sutherland at Nov 4th, 2008 in Mental Health
Snoring is something we joke about but we soon stop thinking it is a laughing matter if the person WE share our bedroom with is a snorer.
Some of the factors affecting the amount of disharmony from snoring is how loud it is, and how long it lasts.
There are many devices, methods and contraptions on the market attempting to help the snorer. Some of them work, some do not work at all.One of the reasons for the lesser success rate is that people snore for a variety of reasons and you need a device or method that deals with the CAUSE of the snoring.
Strapping your chin to keep your mouth shut, or sleeping on a special pillow, or forcing you to sleep on your side may bring some temporary relief, but as soon as that chin strap comes off, you are snoring again.
Other natural methods may work to some extent, such as changing position in bed to your side instead of sleeping on your back, yoga, abstaining from alcohol etc. While some of these methods may be helpful, they too will only work as long as you do them.
Addressing the CAUSE of the snoring which is usually A. A weak soft palate. B.Narrow nasal passages. C.Stuffy nose from a cold or allergies. D.Muscles in the throat are weak. E. Muscles supporting the jaw are too tense. And the most common reason: The tongue falls into the throat as you relax and partially blocks the airways.
The great news is that all these causes can be remedied with easy to do gentle exercises. A few minutes per day, and you can sleep quietly and deeply without disturbing yourself or those sharing your bed.
