about us
Long the material for jokes, snoring is generally accepted as
common and annoying in adults but as nothing to worry about.
However, snoring is no laughing matter. Frequent, loud snoring is
often a sign of sleep apnea and may increase your risk of developing
cardiovascular disease and diabetes, as well as lead to daytime
sleepiness and impaired performance.
Snoring is caused by a narrowing or partial blockage of your airways
at the back of the mouth and upper throat.
- Alcohol or sedatives taken shortly before sleep also promote snoring. These drugs cause greater relaxation of the tissues in your throat and mouth.
- Snoring increases the risk of developing diabetes and heart disease.
- About one-third of all pregnant women begin snoring for the first time during their second trimester.
- Snoring can also be a problem in children. As many as 10–15 percent of young children, who typically have enlarged adenoids and tonsils, snore on a regular basis.
The present website provides you with valuable information and tips around a healthy sleep.
