Understanding Snoring
Why Do You Snore?
When you fall asleep, the muscles in your tongue, throat, and jaw relax. For many people, this relaxation increases tissue vibration which produces the sound of snoring-especially when sleeping on the back
Common Causes of Snoring
Jaw & Tongue Position
When the lower jaw shifts backward or the tongue falls back, it changes the position and stability of the soft tissues in the throat, which can increase tissue vibration during sleep. This is one of the most common—and most correctable—causes of snoring.
Nasal Issues
Congestion caused by a cold, allergies, or a deviated septum can increase mouth breathing, which in turn makes snoring more likely.
Lifestyle Factors
Alcohol before bed, smoking, poor sleep posture, and excess weight around the neck can all increase snoring intensity.
Why Snoring Shouldn't Be Ignored
Snoring doesn’t just disrupt your sleep—it can also affect your bed partner’s rest and the overall quality of your nights together..
By addressing snoring at its source, you can help create a quieter, more restful sleep environment for both of you including:
- More uninterrupted sleep
- Better rest through the night
- Wake up feeling refreshed
Addressing snoring at its source is essential for better sleep and overall wellness.
