1. Why Do People Snore?

i. Abnormal Nasal Structure

A normal nasal structure ensures smooth airflow. Structural abnormalities can obstruct breathing, especially at night, resulting in snoring.

During normal breathing, air flows through the nose → nasal cavity → nasopharynx → throat → lungs. Airspeed and volume must remain steady for smooth breathing. If nasal structure is abnormal, airflow becomes turbulent, producing the harsh, irregular sound of snoring.

Common structural issues include:

• Deviated septum: Can block one nostril, narrowing the upper airway.
• Enlarged turbinates: Reduce nasal space, making breathing difficult.
• Overlong nasal processes: Can press on the nasopharynx, obstructing airflow.

ii. Excessive Relaxation of Throat Muscles

During sleep, muscles naturally relax. Excessive relaxation can cause the throat to partially or fully collapse, blocking airflow and causing snoring.

iii. Nasal and Throat Conditions

Conditions like pharyngitis, chronic sinusitis, or hypothyroidism can inflame or swell nasal and throat tissues, narrowing the airway and leading to snoring.

iv. Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder where breathing temporarily stops. Most patients have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), where soft tissues at the back of the throat collapse, partially or fully blocking the airway. Snoring and gasping often accompany these pauses, disrupting sleep quality and causing daytime fatigue, poor concentration, and in severe cases, cardiovascular complications.

v. Obesity

Excess neck fat can compress the airway, especially during sleep, narrowing airflow and causing snoring. Obesity also increases the likelihood of sleep apnea.

vi. Poor Sleep Posture

Sleeping on the back can cause the tongue and soft palate to fall backward, narrowing or blocking the airway. Using a slightly elevated pillow can help maintain airway openness.

vii. Smoking and Alcohol

• Alcohol relaxes throat muscles, increasing airway collapse risk.
• Smoking irritates nasal and throat tissues, causing swelling, excess mucus, and airway narrowing. Nicotine also relaxes muscles, increasing snoring risk.

2. Harms Caused by Snoring

Many people see snoring as harmless, but chronic snoring can have serious consequences:

i. Respiratory Disorders

Frequent snoring can damage airway tissues and cause inflammation, increasing the risk of respiratory diseases.

ii. Cardiovascular Diseases

Partial or complete airway obstruction lowers blood oxygen levels, forcing the heart to work harder. Over time, this increases risks of arrhythmia, hypertension, heart attack, and stroke. Stress hormones released during low-oxygen states further strain the cardiovascular system.

iii. Low Blood Oxygen

Repeated oxygen dips from snoring and apnea may cause permanent damage to the lungs and other organs.

iv. Poor Sleep Quality

Snoring disrupts not only your sleep but also your partner’s. Poor sleep leads to daytime fatigue, headaches, mood swings, and decreased cognitive performance.

v. Memory Decline

Interrupted sleep and low oxygen reduce brain function, damaging neurons and impairing memory. Poor-quality deep sleep also hinders memory consolidation and cognition.

3. How to Improve Snoring

i. Nasal Breathing Tape / Snore Strips

If you sleep with your mouth open, the tongue may fall backward, narrowing the airway. Nasal strips can encourage nasal breathing, reducing snoring.

ii. Anti-Snore Chin Straps

Chin straps help keep the mouth closed, promoting nasal breathing. However, they are ineffective for snoring caused by other factors like enlarged tonsils, relaxed throat muscles, or sleep apnea.

iii. Nasal Dilators

Nasal dilators expand the nostrils to improve airflow. Patients with nasal disease or prior surgery should consult a doctor before use. Some users may find the sensation uncomfortable.

iv. CPAP Machines

CPAP devices treat sleep apnea, a major cause of snoring. Positive pressure CPAP opens the airway via pressurized airflow, while negative pressure machines reposition the tongue. Though highly effective, CPAP machines can be expensive.
