What can be done about snoring?

Über diese Folge

According to the British Snoring and Sleep Apnea Association, 41% of the UK population snore, which means there are approximately 15 million snorers in the country. That in turn means 30 million people are affected by snoring, given that the noises can prove disturbing to a partner or family member’s sleep. Of course when we breathe, oxygen passes through our nose, then behind the palate to reach the pharynx and trachea. When we sleep, these muscles tend to collapse, which can hamper air flow. Our organs start vibrating and the noise spreads in the nasal cavities. That’s where snoring comes from. Is it a cause for concern? So what about the rest of us snorers who don’t suffer from sleep apnea? What if the snoring is down to my sleeping position? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !
