Snoring Snoring is caused by air turbulence hitting the structures in the mouth, nose and throat, making them vibrate. Women generally snore less than men because their airway is larger, so air can pass through unobstructed. It is also firmer, hence less likely to collapse. The number of women affected by snoring increases from the time of the menopause. Reasons that may affect your snoring can be:
Weight gain or lack of exercise: The presence of fat cells in the back of the throat, common in individuals who are overweight, may reduce the width of the airway and increase snoring.
Alcohol: Alcohol consumption can loosen throat tissues, therefore increasing the vibrations. It is recommended that you refrain from drinking alcohol one hour before bedtime.
Smoking: Smoking can irritate the back of the throat and smokers are twice as likely to snore since their airways become inflamed and blocked.
Sleeping position: While sleeping on your back, your tongue, your chin and any excess fatty tissue under your chin will probably relax back and squash your airway. Sleeping on your side prevents this.
Cold/ Flu: Suffering from a cold or the flu can cause nasal blockages and limit airflow through the nasal passages leading to breathing through the mouth. Enjoy a good night’s sleep with the Lloydspharmacy Stop Snoring Device.
