It’s always a race for you to fall asleep every night so that you don’t have to contend with their snoring, and tonight you lost…badly. You can’t go on like this, something has to change. How can you stop your partner from snoring? Fortunately, you can now get an anti-snoring device in Jupiter from Dr. Kenneth Mogell.

What Causes Snoring?

Snoring is a very common condition that affects about 90 million people. It is typically caused by the flow of air being partially blocked during sleep. This can happen for a number of reasons:

  • Congestion: If you are experiencing a cold or a sinus infection, this blockage can lead to snoring.
  • Relaxed throat and tongue: This tissue can relax whenever you lay down to sleep and can partially obstruct your airway. The passing air causes it to vibrate, creating the iconic snoring sound.
  • Weight: People who are overweight very often snore because they have a large amount of throat tissue that can affect how they breathe when they sleep.
  • Tobacco and Alcohol: Both of these can lead to an increase in the production of mucus in the mouth and throat, as well as swelling and irritation, which can cause a blockage while sleeping.
  • Large tissues in the mouth:Large tonsils, a long uvula, or an extended soft palate can all cause snoring.

Snoring can simply be annoying, or even indicate something as serious as sleep apnea. This is a condition where your partner’s airway can become fully blocked during the night and prevent them from breathing.  This can happen multiple times over the course of the night and does not always wake a person up. This is very stressful for the body, and can increase their risk of diabetes, stroke, and heart disease. Whether or not snoring indicates sleep apnea, it can make it difficult for you and your partner to get restful sleep.

How To Treat Snoring

Other than sleeping on the couch for the rest of your life, one of the easiest ways to treat snoring is with a snoreguard in Jupiter.

Oral appliances have been shown to dramatically reduce snoring for 95% of the patients who use them consistently.
