What Causes Snoring?

Snoring happens when your airway creates suction that vibrates your soft tissue. What triggers snoring varies from person to person, though. Common reasons for snoring include:

  • Narrow Airway | A narrow airway can make you more likely to snore since there is less space for air to enter and leave your throat.
  • Sinus Pressure or Congestion | If you are dealing with a stuffy nose or sinus pain, it can also put pressure on your airway and lead to snoring.
  • Age and Weight | If you have extra weight around your neck, it can collapse your airway slightly. People who are 65+ are also more predisposed to snoring.
  • Alcohol Use | Alcohol use can contribute to snoring or even sleep apnea because it relaxes your muscles, especially your airway.
  • Mouth Structure and Genetics | Smaller uvula, soft palates, or airways can be genetic and contribute to snoring.

Is Snoring Dangerous?

Most often, snoring isn’t dangerous on its own. However, it can be an indication of dangerous conditions such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Left untreated, OSA can have cardiovascular risks and endanger your long-term health.

The best way to tell if your snoring is connected to sleep apnea is to receive an at-home sleep test. This test helps you and your doctor see if you are having breathing interruptions.

Comfortable and Convenient Snoring Solutions

Snoring Mouthpiece

Sleep Better Fort Collins offers custom snoring mouthpieces that help you feel your best. These snore guards are soft plastic retainer-like devices that prevent your airway from vibrating because they position your jaws to be slightly apart and forward. We prioritize your comfort during sleep, so our snore guards are comfortable to wear while still being incredibly effective.

These snoring mouthpieces reduce your snoring, which in turn reduces the number of interruptions you suffer from throughout the night. Protect your health with a snoring mouthpiece today.

Why Sleep is Important for Your Health

Your sleep is essential to many functions in your body, but also for your moods. Resolving interrupted sleep caused by snoring can help you lessen the effects of poor sleep. 

Mental Health

Sleep helps your emotional state in many ways. If you don’t get enough sleep, you may find that you struggle with:

  • Irritability 
  • Brain fog
  • Headaches
  • Depression or anxiety

While these symptoms of poor sleep may be manageable for a couple of days or even a week, they aren’t sustainable long term. Your confidence may decrease, or you may struggle with your social relationships. That is why we want to help you stop snoring.

Physical Health

Bad sleep affects your physical health just as much as your mental health. Even if it isn’t related to sleep apnea, snoring can cause interruptions that prevent you from getting full rest.

Over time, your body may have to deal with:

  • Cardiovascular strain
  • Constant fatigue
  • Immune system compromise
  • Increased risk of diseases such as diabetes and Alzheimer’s

Dr. Lesko understands how important your sleep is to your everyday life and well-being. Our snore guards can help reduce these risks and give you the sleep you deserve.
