Snoring is a wide spread health problem, that, aswell as being a nuisance in itself, can also cause knock on effects such as daytime tiredness and problems in relationships. Usually, people are not born with the problem of snoring, but like allergies, it is more likely to be acquired over time. If there is not sufficient space for the air to pass through the throat or the airflow is obstructed in some way, then this can cause the palet and uvula to vibrate. This vibration causes the noise known as ’snoring’. One can compare this noise generation to the way in which a wind instrument or a flag flapping in the wind generates noise. This air flow hindrance has various causes, such as a displaced jaw or an obstruction around or inside the throat for example.

In-depth medical research has led to the development of various forms of the anti snoring device and snoring solutions, which primarily have the objective of clearing the blockage in the breathing passage.

One should be aware, however, that sleep apnea, a more serious condition, can sometimes be associated with snoring. Sleep apnea is signified by breathing pauses for abnormally long times during sleep, which occurs when the muscles and soft tissues in the throat relax and collapse sufficiently to cause either a total or partial blockage of the airway. Left untreated sleep apnea can increase the risk of conditions such as heart attack and stroke. It is therefore advised that if you suspect that you have sleep apnea then you should see your GP.
