What happens when you snore?<\/h3>\n

Snoring causes disturbing noises due to the vibrations of slack tissue in the throat and palate area when breathing in and out during sleep.
\nThe exact causes and mechanisms of snoring are varied and differ from person to person.<\/p>\n

The most common factors that play a role in snoring are<\/p>\n

Relaxation of the throat muscles<\/h5>\n

During sleep, the muscles in the throat and palate relax. This causes the soft tissues in this area to contract more tightly. When the air flows past these relaxed tissues during inhalation, the characteristic snoring noises are produced.<\/p>\n

Constricted airways<\/h5>\n

Some people's airways are naturally narrower. They can also be narrowed due to anatomical conditions such as an enlarged tongue or tonsils. In these cases, the air flows past with more pressure, causing snoring.<\/p>\n

Overweight<\/h5>\n

Excessive weight can cause an increased accumulation of fatty tissue in the throat and pharynx area. This can further constrict your airways.<\/p>\n

Alcohol and sedative medication<\/h5>\n

The consumption of alcohol or certain medications that relax the muscles can increase snoring. They can Throat muscles<\/a> even more slack.<\/p>\n

Sleeping position<\/h5>\n

If you sleep on your back, you may be more prone to snoring. This is due to the fact that gravity pushes the soft tissues in the throat area backwards. This narrows the airways.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \t

What consequences can night-time snoring have?<\/h3>\n

Loud snoring can affect the quality of your own sleep and that of your partner. Common consequences are lack of sleep and daytime sleepiness, which are accompanied by concentration difficulties and reduced performance. Snoring can also cause you to sleep with your mouth open, which promotes dry mouth, a sore throat or even infections.<\/p>\n

Chronic snoring can also be a sign of sleep apnoea, a serious sleep disorder that can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure and other health problems.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \t
