If you and your spouse suffer from horrible snoring, You are not alone. 23% of couples suffer seriously from this terrible condition. The problem isn't just the irritation of staying awake the whole night or waking up from a souse's elbow over and over again. Not getting enough rest is simply life threatening.
It is life threatening for example when you lose your focus in heavy traffic during the day. In our modern world, losing focus for few seconds is a good way to have an accident. Its also life threatening because your whole emotional and physical balance will suffer. Nervous breakdown, stroke, and heart-attack are only three examples.
You cant blame yourself or your partner. Youve probably tried several things to eliminate the snoring but nothing helped. Ive heard of many who undertook expensive, dangerous surgery, only to find themselves worse off afterward.
In order to cure snoring you must be aware of what causes it. It is always caused by some sort of blockage in the air passageways. When these passageways become blocked, the airflow becomes irregular and doesn't flow like it should. The restricted airflow then slams the soft tissue in the passageways around like a door in the wind. Your mouth and throat amplify the sound like speakers powered by a powerful amplifier and your partner can't sleep.
When the soft palate (the soft part of the back of the roof of the mouth) begins to vibrate the noise really gets bad. If the soft palate is weak then the tip of it may bang down on the back of the tongue like a bongo drum. The tongue may at the same time be dropping into your throat further blocking airflow.
Curing snoring can be very difficult regardless of the fact that there is only one cause. This is because the blockages vary so widely and to top it all off, many people have more than one type of block causing their snoring.
Here are just few examples of what can cause your snoring:
1) Weak tongue falling into the throat blocking it. If you sleep on your back this is very common and it can also happen when sleeping sideways.
2) Breathing passages blocked due to pressure from tense jaw muscles. Many dentists try to solve this problem by putting in dental implants. It is far easier to avoid this by loosening and relaxing your jaw muscles.
3) I've already mentioned the soft palate earlier. A weak soft palate can flap and vibrate more easily to make the snoring sounds. Most of the time it is not that the soft palate is too big, it is that it is too weak.
4) When the soft palate is weak and not firm enough it will lay too close to the tongue and easily flap around making those irritating snoring sounds.
5) Anything that builds up in your throat works as a dam to your airway. Most common are cigarette tars or fat in the throat or sinus congestion due to allergies
Can you get rid of the blocks that cause you to snore?
It appears to be common sense. It is possible to train this part of your body much like you do any other part. Kind of like taking the breathing passages to the gym. With a few simple exercises focused on the area in and around the throat, you can relieve any block you may have. It doesn't matter what is causing your snoring the beautiful part is that a few simple exercises can solve all your problems.
Prevent the tongue from falling into your throat while you sleep by strengthening it.
Loosening up the jaw, using the jaw exercises will remove any tension from it. Youll be surprised how much easier youll breath after you do the jaw exercises.
There are throat exercises which will open up the throat preventing it from closing while you are sleeping. These exercises also lift and strengthen your soft palate preventing it from flapping.
Its about working smart not hard. You make the choice how many minutes a day you want to train. The minimal time is only three minutes. How long you exercise every day is up to you. You can train for as little as three minutes a day. For quick permanent results, I recommend taking the program that requires ten minutes a day commitment.
Different people get different results in different time periods. It is suggested that you prepare to train for two months. Your snoring will like stop long before the end of two months but If you determine to go full speed ahead for two months then you can be assured you will be cured by the end of the program. It may take the full two months to work a permanent cure for snoring even though it is very likely that you will be sleeping quietly all night long long before the two month program is completed.
I'm looking forward to receiving your success stories. Nothing is more encouraging than opening email and reading how people healed themselves using the exercise programs.
Snoring has put a great strain on many relationships. some people have resorted to sleeping separately while others have learned to live with it. There may still be some hidden resentment so I hope you give the exercises a try. Please commit to doing the exercises for a couple of weeks and I promise you, you will have many quiet restful nights in the future. - 15255
