Understanding the Science of Snoring and How to Stop It

Snoring happens when airflow is restricted, causing vibrations in the tissues of the throat. While occasional snoring is common, chronic snoring may indicate a more serious issue. Here’s what you need to know:

1. Common Causes of Snoring

  • Anatomy of the Airway: Narrow airways or enlarged tonsils can restrict airflow.
  • Sleeping Position: Sleeping on your back increases the likelihood of snoring.
  • Lifestyle Factors: Alcohol, smoking, and weight gain contribute to snoring.

2. Health Risks Associated with Snoring

  • Sleep apnea, which disrupts breathing during sleep.
  • Increased risk of high blood pressure and cardiovascular issues.

3. Solutions to Address Snoring

Lifestyle changes, positional therapy, and anti-snoring devices like the Difiney 4.0 are effective in reducing or eliminating snoring. The Difiney Anti-Snoring Device gently adjusts your jaw position to open airways, promoting better sleep.
