On the flip side, maybe you wake up the next morning and find out they barely got any sleep that night. \u201cWhat\u2019s the matter?\u201d You ask them. As they turn to look at you at they just stare and say, \u201cDo you know how loudly you snore?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To some, this may come as a surprise. Chronic snoring doesn\u2019t just affect your loved ones though. In fact, snoring can affect the overall quality of your own sleep as well.

Your dentist can better explain what\u2019s at stake.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>What is Snoring?<\/h2>\n<p>Snoring is a common condition where the flow of air through the mouth and is nose is being physically obstructed in some way. While anybody can snore at any age, it\u2019s most common in men and for people who are overweight. It also tends to get worse as you age.<\/p>\n<p>Often times, snoring is not a health risk and only becomes a nuisance for the people around you, such as your significant other. However, if you come to learn that you\u2019re snoring every night, you could be disrupting the sleep patterns of people around you. Even worse, it\u2019s possible to impair your own sleep quality and may require medical attention if it\u2019s severe.<\/p>\n<h2>What are the Causes of Snoring?<\/h2>\n<p>There are several circumstances that can cause chronic snoring. For example, the nasal airways can become obstructed from a sinus infection or if a person is exposed to certain airborne allergens during allergy season. Deformities of the nose such as a deviated septum or nasal polyps can also cause chronic snoring.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, people may experience snoring if:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>They are overweight<\/li>\n<li>They have bulky throat tissue<\/li>\n<li>They have large tonsils or adenoids<\/li>\n<li>They have a long soft palate and\/or uvula<\/li>\n<li>They have poor muscle tone in the throat and tongue<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What are the Health Risks of Snoring?<\/h2>\n<p>It is possible for snorers to be at risk of many health problems, including obstructive sleep apnea, a condition that affects tens of millions of Americans every day. Sleep apnea can cause frequent waking from sleep and prevent people from entering necessary REM sleep.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, it can cause more serious symptoms, such as high blood pressure, low blood oxygen levels, chronic daytime sleepiness and fatigue, and headaches. While snoring doesn\u2019t guarantee that you have sleep apnea, if you notice multiple moments of waking during the middle of the night, frequent nighttime urination, or you feel tired even after trying to get a full night\u2019s sleep, you may benefit from an anti-snoring device in Lutz.<\/p>\n<p>To regain your restful nights and reduce snoring, ask your dentist about using a snoreguard in Lutz.
