In this article on EKO HOT BLOG, we would be looking at some causes of snoring and how to prevent it.
1. Your mouth anatomy and sleeping position.
If the piece of tissue hanging from the soft palate is elongated, airflow could be obstructed and vibration will be increased, thereby causing snoring. Also sleeping, in a way that your throat is narrow could cause this.
2. Not having proper sleep.
When you don’t have proper sleep, it could cause snoring to occur because your throat will tend to undergo further relaxation.
3. Taking a lot of alcohol.
When you drink too much alcohol, especially before bedtime it will make your throat muscles relax too much, thereby causing an obstruction which causes snoring.
4. Nasal Problems.
When you have some nasal problems like catarrh it could cause nasal congestion and that could lead to snoring because your breathing has been affected.
