Past Tense

Most of us have lived with snoring all of our lives. Husbands snore on the recliner while ‘watching the game.’

Moms tease dads about their snoring and sometimes it’s mom who snores. The point is, snoring is quite common. At some point we have all snored or known of someone who did.

But one of the amazing things about snoring is that very few people understand the reason we snore.

As I embarked on my “The Stop Snoring Exercise Program” I began uncovering some of the lesser known culprits of snoring.

Reasons we snore

Our parents can be part of the cause – and their parents before them. We may have inherited a predisposition in our physical make up that results in snoring.

Large tonsils and adenoids can contribute to snoring.

Men tend to snore more often overall. And growing older is often another major contributor. The muscles (including those in and around the throat) are not as strong as they used to be.

Sinus interference such as a stuffy nose will cause snoring. And that will cause restless sleeping.

Those culprits present themselves for the most part no matter what we do to avoid them.

We can change some of the other reasons that we snore. Among these ‘changeable’ reasons are such things as being overweight or out of shape, a history of smoking, alcohol, medications, or simply our sleep posture.

Consequences of Snoring

The people who reside with the snorer feel the pain as does the snorer.

Marriages and relationships often suffer as snoring creates a divide among two people trying to sleep together. It’s isolating and often prevents people from spending some of the most intimate time together.

Damage is done to our bodies and to our marriages or other intimate relationships.

We’ve been subjected to enough statistics and studies to know how vital tranquil sleep is. Snoring prevents that by interupting the sleeper.

Which Type of Snore Do You Have?

Detering air from flowing results in snoring. The tongue placement may be culprit for those who snore closed mouthed.

Back snoring is very common and can be alleviated by switching sleep positions. If your mouth is open when snoring, it may be the fleshy throat area creating a disturbance.

Those who snore no matter what position their mouth or body is in may have more complicated factors involved.

For the larger majority however, a simple lifestyle change to get in better shape or some attention to finding a position for optimal air passage can make a difference in a sleepless night and a night full of rest.
