Understanding The Reasons You Snore Helps If You Want To Prevent Snoring

If you could study what caused people to snore, you would be in a better position to be in control of your personal case, and perhaps may find a cure. Many people just don’t know how or if there is a solution to this issue. If you want to stop snoring, read on for the causes that you can and cannot control.

First off, you will need to uncover the causes that you can control. One of these causes is being overweight, or having poor muscle composition. The fatty tissue and even poorly developed muscle tissue can lead to a blockage of your air passage, which can lead to difficulty in breathing. This is why it’s important to make exercise a regular part of your routine.

Other “in-control” causes for snoring are smoking cigarettes and consuming alcohol, or using muscle-relaxing substances before bed. Drinking relaxes your muscles and can cause your tongue to fall backwards in your mouth; smoking leads to congestion and both lead to blockages of your airway. At least avoid smoking and using these muscle-relaxants right before bed.

One last fact you can control, for those who want to stop snoring, is to change the posture in which you sleep. If you sleep on your back all the time, this will lead to your tongue falling back and blocking your airway. You will need to try to sleep on your side, which could mean you may have to place an object on your back or under you to help keep the position. Otherwise you can try elevating your head with pillows or getting into a little more of a slouch of sorts.

On the other hand, there are a number of things that lead to snoring that you cannot control. For instance, you can find that your family’s genetics are stacked against you (throat size, cleft palate, size of adenoids, etc.). In this case, you will probably have to face surgery if your doctor recommends it, and your snoring is out of control – but reserve this for a worst-case scenario.

If you are a man, then you will have a higher chance of snoring. This is because men have a narrower airway than women, which increases the likelihood of snoring. As mentioned, you cannot control or manipulate this fact of gender.

One last fact that you cannot control which sometimes leads to snoring is having asthma, allergies or getting infected sinuses. Only in the event that you have a sinus infection do you have any sort of control, as you can use a decongestant or other remedy to help address the symptoms.
