What is snoring? overcome the problem of snoring

So Just what is snoring?

Snoring is defined as any resonant noise from the respiratory tract that emerges during sleep.

Biologically, snoring refers to a vibration in the airway connecting the nose and the mouth;

A vibration that can emerge through;

• The mouth

• The nose

Or (those who don't snore are painfully aware), it can emerge through both!

As you can sense, the more narrow the airway, generally speaking, the more intense the vibration; the louder the snore.

Snoring Your Nocturnal Dilemma!

Why does snoring only seems to emerge at nigh?

After all, people literally use their airway every moment of their life.

Why is snoring a nocturnal dilemma?

The answer to this is found in looking at the tissues within the airway. This tissue is very soft, and at night becomes relaxed; its similar to how some muscles, like biceps, become relaxed at night since the body does not require them.

As the throat (and its subsequent tissue) relaxes during sleep, the wind tunnel/airway becomes narrower and hence, snoring occurs.

How Serious is Snoring?

One of the very strange challenges that the entire topic of snoring faces, is that most people don't think snoring is all that big of a problem.

The word itself snoring is rather harmless sounding, really; and its nowhere as terrifying as some medical words such as tumour or cirrhosis.

As a result, many people are quite sceptical when told that snoring is a severe physical and emotional health problem.
