Snoring. It’s something we all grow up knowing about. Granddaddies snore after Thanksgiving dinners.

Maybe you are the snorer, maybe you live with one. It doesn’t require much more effort than falling asleep. And we all sleep.

What is not so obvious though, is WHY people snore.

As I embarked on my “The Stop Snoring Exercise Program” I began uncovering some of the lesser known culprits of snoring.

Why we snore

Our parents can be part of the cause – and their parents before them. We may have inherited a predisposition in our physical make up that results in snoring.

Enlarged adenoids, narrow nasal passages, or throat may be reasons for snoring that you simply cannot avoid.

For those approaching middle age, snoring becomes much more prevalent as the throat narrows and muscle tone relaxes. Being born male will increase your chances of snoring.

Sinus interference such as a stuffy nose will cause snoring. And that will cause restless sleeping.

Those culprits present themselves for the most part no matter what we do to avoid them.

Other culprits are within our realm of control. Some of those include our physical sleep disposition, certain medicines, habits such as smking etc.

Effects of Snoring

The people who reside with the snorer feel the pain as does the snorer.

The person who snores often self imposes exile to another part of the house when sleeping or is sent off by others who cannot tolerate it. It creates a division of people who are supposed to be partners.

Our physical and emotional well being suffer.

We have study after study proving the value of a good night’s sleep. But we also have sleep studies proving that snoring is waking many up throughout the night. It’s a nuisance that’s robbing us of the most rewarding ‘deep’ sleep that our bodies crave.

How do YOU Snore?

If you snore with your mouth closed, you most likely have an issue with your tongue. Placement of the tongue during sleep is fairly uncontrollable. You must remember that anything disturbing the airflow is suspect and must be considered.

Changing your sleep position can help if you snore when laying on your back. An open mouthed snore my be the result of air flow being constricted in the throat passage area.

If snoring seems to come with mouth open or closed, on your back, stomach and any other imaginable position, well. these are generally more complex cases.

For the larger majority however, a simple lifestyle change to get in better shape or some attention to finding a position for optimal air passage can make a difference in a sleepless night and a night full of rest.
