Snoring is something that often happens. however, we just think it is normal.
This is due to lack of disclosure on this matter
INTRODUCTION OF
SNORING
Snoring is the production of sound from the upper aero-digestive tract during sleep due to turbulent airflow., 2012)
(Alabi, et al., 2012)
Due to vibrations of the soft tissues at the back of the mouth or throat
(Anderson, 2012)
SOFT TISSUES COMPONENTS
SOFT PALATE
UVULA
TONSILS
1
3
2
Flutter of the soft palate accounts for the harsh aspect of the snoring sound
( Pevernagie, et al.2010)
factors that restrict airflow
1) Dreams
2) The shape of the mouth 3) Obstruction Of The Nose 4) Alcohol 5) Being Overweight
(Anderson, 2012)
DREAMS
Muscle tone goes especially slack during deep sleep
causing a narrow passage through the
tissues in the throat.
The shape of the mouth
have a long uvula and/or a big,
thick soft palate.
OBSTRUCTION
OF THE
NOSE
A cold, allergy, sinus infection, or
cigarette smoke can all cause
swelling in the tissues of the throat
and a blocked and stuffy nose.
ALCOHOL
Having a few drinks (or a few too many) too close to bedtime causes throat muscles to relax.
Being Overweight
larger neck and bulky throat tissue
cause the airways to narrow and affect breathing

Sleep On Your Side You're more likely to snore if you're lying on your back, and sleeping on your stomach is stressful on your neck
Excess body weight, especially around the neck, puts pressure on the airway, causing it to partially collapse.
Avoid Alcohol and Tranquilizers
Both alcohol and sleeping pills can depress central nervous system and relax the muscles of throat and jaw, making snoring more likely
Chronic respiratory allergies may cause snoring by forcing
sufferers to breathe through mouths
while sleep.
Smoke damages the respiratory system.
Keep a Regular Schedule
Get plenty of sleep. Go to bed and get up at the same time each day.
method of delivering air to your lungs using a machine
The machine simply applies enough pressure to keep airway open, allowing to inhale completely
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)
( Amanda & Dameron, 2008)
Mouth Guard

oral
appliances
SURGERY
surgery to improve the airway in the nose and throat.
