Snoring solutions
In a survey by the British Snoring and Sleep Apnoea Association, 54% of
people have had their holidays adversely affected by snoring and 20% have
been banished to the bathroom because of the noise.
It is not only an embarrassment for sufferers but a test of endurance for
family and friends.
What is snoring?
Snoring affects around 3.5 million people in the UK. It is an anatomy
problem involving the soft tissue at the back of the throat and causes the
emission of sound from the airway during sleep.
What causes snoring?
Snoring occurs when the soft palate tissue at the back of the throat relaxes
too much, obstructing the entrance to the throat. As air tries to pass
through, the soft palate vibrates and produces the snoring sound.
The problem may get worse with age but one of the main causes is size and
body shape. People with short wide necks are most prone to snoring because
the muscles around their windpipe can't support the fat around it when the
person is asleep. As a general rule, anyone with a collar size of 16.5
inches or more is likely to snore.
