Why people snore during Sleeping?

Making loud breathing sounds while sleeping is the sound of blocked air movement in the breathing and lung-related system due to extremely relaxed throat muscles and tissues. This interfered-with air causes the soft tissue in the throat and roof of the mouth to vibrate which creates a sound while sleeping. So, snoring noise can be produced both ways- from breathing in and breathing out.

This noisy sound can be loud, which causes worry and depression to the partner, and the people surrounding them, but there is also a soft snore. This sound level one produces while sleeping is dependent on how much air passes through the narrow passageway of the throat. If the throat muscles and tissues located on the passageway are too relaxed, this blocks the air passing through smoothly; that's the reason for the sound will tend to be louder.

People who have too much throat and nasal tissue or "floppy" tissue that is more prone to vibrate are more likely to snore. The tongue can also play a role in interrupting smooth airflow.

Why do people only snore while sleeping?

After all, we breathe air in and out during the day and it passes smoothly enough and we don't create a snoring sound while we are awake. Well, when we head into bed to sleep after a long busy day, our body's muscles and tissues relax; this includes the throat and mouth. The relaxed muscles and tissue push down on the throat, causing air blockage in the passageway.

How to stop snoring in your sleep?

Below are some anti-snoring bedtime practices you can do at home which may help stop that bad noise. We are all people that respond to different methods, so it may take a little time, patience, and experimenting with different solutions to find out what works for you or your partner to stop snoring:

 

1) Sleep on your side instead of your back. Sleeping on your back causes the relaxed muscles and tissues in the throat to push down and interrupt airflow. Usually, you are not aware of the position of your body while sleeping; therefore to maintain a side sleeping position, try using positioning pillows. As the name suggests, these pillows are heavy and firm enough to hold you inside a sleeping position and make sure if you don't roll onto your back or your stomach. Place a pillow behind and in front of you when you sleep on your side to prevent any rolling of the body. Eventually, your body will change to fit side sleeping and you will not need the help positioning pillows.

2) Try sewing a tennis ball to the front and back of your pajamas. This is a little bit more uncomfortable than other methods; however, it has proved to be effective for some people. If you roll out of your side sleeping position, the tennis balls will keep you in check, as it is definitely not pleasant sleeping on a hard tennis ball.

3) Sleeping on the sofa for a few weeks may also teach your body to sleep on its side as the sofa has limited space for you to roll around. If the sofa is big enough to allow you to roll onto your back, try placing a positioning pillow behind you to limit the space. Eventually, your body will learn to sleep on its side.

If the above solutions sound too uncomfortable or you must completely and totally sleep on your back, try the below:

Increase the elevation of your pillow, either through stacking two pillows together or investing in an anti-snoring pillow. The elevation helps to help to reduce the pressure that the relaxed throat muscles and tongue put on the tube from the mouth to the lungs passage, allowing smooth unobstructed airflow through the breathing and lung-related system. Be sure not to have your neck bent too far upwards as this will overstress the neck muscles.

Try an anti-snoring mouthpiece. These devices help reposition the lower jaw and tongue by bringing them forward, allowing air to pass through the throat and nose smoothly. There are many different types of these devices available to buy, from home kits to anti-snoring aids specifically designed for you by a dentist, so do your research to find which is the best for you. The American Sleep Association reviewed a range of popular anti-snoring devices. More and for a better treatment this product used by many people and gave very satisfying results.

Keep your sinuses and nasal passages clear. There are many ways to do this: blowing your nose before bedtime, using a salt-water rinse to clear the sinus, a neti pot, nasal drug spray or nasal strips, and spread out with Eucalyptus or Tea Tree Oil scent can all help in smooth breathing during sleep. If you suffer from hay fever or allergies, take extra steps to keep your room free from dust and pets.

A humidifier helps keep the air in the room moist, as dry air can sometimes irritate the nasal passages, causing the snore.

Be sure to keep a mental note of the position you wake from in the morning. If you are on your side, that's a good sign, it means the method you are using is working! If you are still waking up on your back, try a different strategy, and don't give up!
