http://www.MyBrez.com – Top 5 list of causes for sleep deprivations as it relates to snoring: 1. Congestion and Relaxation of the Nasal Passages: Primary snoring (snoring without apnea), one of the most common types of snoring, is often the result of a narrowing of the nasal passageway due to congestion or relaxation. 2. Sleeping Position: Sleeping on your back can allow the tongue to fall backward into the throat, narrowing the airway and obstructing airflow. Side sleeping is one way to reduce this problem. 3. Alcohol Consumption: Alcohol and sedatives depress your central nervous system, causing your muscles to relax. This includes the tissues in your throat. Many people report increased snoring after drinking. 4. Excess Weight: Being overweight can also increase snoring. Excess weight can cause loose throat tissues, which are more likely to vibrate as you breathe. 5. Sleep Apnea: Characterized by pauses in breathing during sleep, sleep apnea is a serious disorder that may require medical care. Distributed by Tubemogul.
