Although snoring needs no explanation as to what it is, when explained briefly, it’s basically a sleeping condition that causes ‘the uvula and soft palate to vibrate.,’ which then cause a sound. There are a staggering 90 million adults in America that suffer from snoring alone, and 37 million of them deal with snoring on what is considered a ‘regular basis,’ and more men than women at that too.
But while snoring can be incredibly bothersome to your own sleep, as well as to the sleep of those who can hear you, there are also more serious conditions that cause snoring in the first place. Thankfully, snoring can be addressed by either home remedies, as well as by proper medical professionals when required.
If you or someone you know suffers from snoring, here are the common causes why, as well as ways to cure them.
Causes Of Snoring:
1. Blocked Nasal Airways
One of the most common reasons for snoring is due to blocked nasal airways, and there are a few reasons why they become obstructed in the first place. For some, it can be due to allergies or sinus infections. Others are due to nasal polyps which happen to be tiny growths along the nasal passage that block breathing. Other reasons could be due to a deviated septum, which is when the wall that sits between the nostrils has been compromised.
