Stop Snoring Pillows
If snoring is a problem for you and you are looking for ways to stop snoring then anti snore pillows are one alternative. Most anti snoring pillows are designed to either provide support to a snorer’s neck and head or alternatively keep you sleeping in a position that helps to keep your airway open and your mouth closed to eliminate or reduce your snoring.
Partners of people who snore regularly or loudly do not generally need to be encouraged much to tell of the problems with having to put up with that person’s snoring night after night, and the associated lack of sleep for them.
Most partners will enthusiastically support any attempts by the snorer to trial any anti snoring devices in the hope of getting some rest for themselves, in preference to the more drastic alternative of sleeping in separate rooms! Snoring is not only a problem for the partner who cannot sleep because of it. It is also a health risk for the snorer themselves as it usually means that they aren’t achieving the necessary rest that sleep is designed to provide due to your body having to struggle to keep breathing and the associated reduced oxygen levels in your blood keeping you from entering deep beneficial sleep. Heavy or bad snoring can also be a symptom of the more serious condition of sleep apnea.
What Causes Snoring?
Most snoring is usually caused by an obstruction in the airway. This can be due to a number of causes including, but not limited to,
- sleep posture or positions that result in tongue or other tissue obstructions of the airway,
- the natural physical structure of your throat that creates a narrow airway,
- medical conditions that result in throat tissue inflammation,
- being overweight with associated fat and tissue build up around the throat,
- general muscle weakness in the throat,
- increasing age and associated loss of throat muscle tone.
