Snoring

Who has never snored? Certainly, nobody: when they have a cold, people usually snore; however, in some cases, this very cold can truly disturb the sleep of their partner: 13% of the 25/45- year- old surveyed said they had significant snoring problems

Did you know that snoring can reach 100 decibels, the equivalent to the noise of a truck passing?
In some cases, snoring can be the sign of an underlying illness: obstructive sleep apnea

100 DB is the sound intensity a snore can reach (as loud as the noise produced by a truck engine!)

Why do I snore?

During your sleep the muscles of your body relax: your legs, arms, neck but also the muscles of your throat, palate and tongue. Once relaxed, the muscles become flaccid and collapse, blocking partially the airways and hindering the airflow. Yet, the air flow must remain constant to ensure a good oxygenation, otherwise the respiratory system strains, making the walls of the throat vibrate and causing snoring.

If you snore, don’t forget that you can formulate some good habits to take to limit or even get rid of your snoring.

Stop smoking
Stop smoking
Quitting smoking is important for your health in general but also to diminish your snoring; indeed, cigarette smoke irritates the airways which tend to swell first and then shrink in response, making snoring worse. Thus, a study showed that there are twice as many smokers or former smokers who snore as non-smokers.
Limit your alcohol consumption
Limit your alcohol consumption
Unlike preconceived ideas, alcohol is not your sleep’s best friend. Indeed, it will highly disturb the very structure of it. If you snore, avoid drinking alcohol, in particular during or after dinner

Avoid sleeping on your back
Avoid sleeping on your back
In this position, the tongue and the walls of your throat tend to block the airways causing snoring or even obstructive sleep apnea. It is therefore highly recommended to sleep on your side or stomach with the help, for example, of a device such as Ronfless ®.
