Snoring certainly isn’t mystery to most people. We’re very familiar with it and can usually at least witness it right in our own homes.

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.

What is not so obvious though, is WHY people snore.

“The Stop Snoring Exercise Program” forced me to examine various causes of snoring and incorporate them into the system.

Why 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.

For those approaching middle age, snoring becomes much more prevalent as the throat narrows and muscle tone relaxes. Being born male will increase your chances of snoring.

Reduced air flow through the nose due to an illness or having allergies can result in snoring as well as a poor night’s rest.

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.

The person who snores often self imposes exile to another part of the house when sleeping or is sent off by others who cannot tolerate it. It creates a division of people who are supposed to be partners.

Our physical and emotional well being suffer.

We have study after study proving the value of a good night’s sleep. But we also have sleep studies proving that snoring is waking many up throughout the night. It’s a nuisance that’s robbing us of the most rewarding ‘deep’ sleep that our bodies crave.

Which Type of Snore Do You Have?

Snoring with a closed mouth can be the result of tongue position. It can deter air passage.

If you sleep with your mouth open, it’s much more likely that your throat tissues are causing this bothersome Zzzzzzzz. Those sleeping on their backs have cases that are generally milder in nature. A change in position and concentration on good posturing will often give this group relief.

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

Improving your physical condition or bettering your sleep posture will help a large number of people who suffer.
