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.
