Snoring. It’s something we all grow up knowing about. Granddaddies snore after Thanksgiving dinners.

Moms tease dads about their snoring and sometimes it’s mom who snores. The point is, snoring is quite common. At some point we have all snored or known of someone who did.

But one of the amazing things about snoring is that very few people understand the reason we snore.

As I started refining “The Stop Snoring Exercise Program” I realized just how much is actually known about the many reasons there are. Let’s take a moment to look at some of these.

Causes of snoring

Our parents can be part of the cause - and their parents before them. We may have inherited a predisposition in our physical make up that results in snoring.

Enlarged adenoids, narrow nasal passages, or throat may be reasons for snoring that you simply cannot avoid.

For those approaching middle age, snoring becomes much more prevalent as the throat narrows and muscle tone relaxes. Being born male will increase your chances of snoring.

Sinus interference such as a stuffy nose will cause snoring. And that will cause restless sleeping.

Contributors like that are not within our control.

Other culprits are within our realm of control. Some of those include our physical sleep disposition, certain medicines, habits such as smking etc.

Effects of Snoring

The people who reside with the snorer feel the pain as does the snorer.

Couples resign themselves to separates rooms when sleeping - creating distance where normally closeness would reign.

Damage is done to our bodies and to our marriages or other intimate relationships.

We have study after study proving the value of a good night’s sleep. But we also have sleep studies proving that snoring is waking many up throughout the night. It’s a nuisance that’s robbing us of the most rewarding ‘deep’ sleep that our bodies crave.

Which Type of Snore Do You Have?

If you snore with your mouth closed, you most likely have an issue with your tongue. Placement of the tongue during sleep is fairly uncontrollable. You must remember that anything disturbing the airflow is suspect and must be considered.

Changing your sleep position can help if you snore when laying on your back. An open mouthed snore my be the result of air flow being constricted in the throat passage area.

If snoring seems to come with mouth open or closed, on your back, stomach and any other imaginable position, well. these are generally more complex cases.

Basic changes to your lifestyle though will help a large portion of those snore. Creating a peaceful sleeping environment and allowing for better air flow will make a big difference.

My program was created to help people stop snoring fast. It’s easy and requires little effort. A few daily exercises can lead to the very sleep you’ve been deprived of.
