The causes of snoring. 2007-08-01 01:01:28 As mentioned in earlier posts, snoring can have many causes
, it could be a narrow throat or poor muscle tone, medications, alcohol or even allergies.
Anything that obstructs the free flow of air in the nose and throat could be a possible cause of snoring. Generally human males have narrower air passages than females so they are more likely to snore. Increasing age can also contribute to narrowing of air passages which can cause blockages and snoring.
One of the main causes of snoring is poor muscle tone in the throat and the tongue. When the muscles in the throat are too relaxed, the tongue may fall into the airway or the muscles of the throat might draw in from the sides. This causes airway blockage, and consequently, a snoring problem. Now there can be many reasons for over relaxed muscles.
It can be due to from drinking alcohol, as it is a depressant that makes all of your muscles relax. If you are planning on drinking in a night but don’t want to snore, it’s best to have you
The sound of snore! 2007-07-30 01:35:10 World over there are millions of people suffering silently because of the noise they make during their sleep, that is snoring. It’s the most common of problems people would identify with. Some people won’t even realize the extent of problem their sleeping partners are going through. A good sleep makes you feel healthier and energetic through out the day. Where as a lack of it will keep you dull, the whole day. Knowing exactly what causes snoring is the first step in solving the problem. There are many reasons that people snore, and your problem may be due to a wide range of reasons from physical features to lifestyle choices.
There is a specific reason to the sound produced by snoring. Snoring is caused by an obstruction to the free flow of air through the cavities at the back of the mouth and nose. In this area, you can find the collapsible part of the air passage, where the tongue and the upper throat meet the soft palate and the uvula. When these structures hit each other, they
Importance of quality sleep. 2007-07-27 03:13:55 A good sleep is a lot more than just a sleep. It keeps us healthy in a lot of ways we are not even aware of. For most, sleep is a way of keeping our body and mind at rest. But there is a lot more to it. Though our muscles are at rest during the sleep they are not completely shut off. When a person is in deep sleep his mind and body are still working but with out any outside inputs, there is no conscious processing involved, which is very important.Our mind builds up our memory in this time and our body heals itself.
But modern stressful lifestyles and busy schedules make it harder for us to catch up with our natural sleeping schedules. This again leads to a lot of problems like more stress, lack of energy, headaches, body aches, tiredness, lack of concentration, depression, aggression and mood swings. Be it our lifestyle, health or work, it affects almost every aspect of our life. A simple but a very understated issue. It can be the key to a good life.

Snoring Children. 2007-08-13 01:32:44 Snoring in kids is quite common but it could be more than what meets the eye. You should be more observant about it and not ignore it. Good sleep is very important for children for their growth both mental and physical. If a child is not sleeping properly he or she would be restless and irritable most of the time. Lack of focus and concentration are among the first signs of sleep disorders.
If your child snores, be alert for signs of obstructive sleep apnea (periods of not breathing, typically followed by a gasp or snort). But sleep apnea is much more subtle in children since true apnea rarely occurs. So parents should be looking for behavioral symptoms which may indicate a sleep disorder: these include hyperactivity, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), poor school performance, snoring, mouth breathing, bedwetting. A 2005 study, conducted at the Chinese University in Hong Kong, found that 23% of snoring children had poor academic records compared to 13.5% of those who did Read more:Snoring

Snoring and Sleep. 2007-08-14 06:18:15 Everyone knows the importance of good sleep. Snoring
can be one of major reasons for a lack of sleep for snorer and can be as frustrating to his or her sleeping partner.. In many cases, people who suffer from chronic snoring problems are not experiencing the deepest, most restful sleep possible. Since snoring requires more energy to breathe, the sound and extra “work” can cause snorers to wake themselves multiple times throughout the night.
Loud or abnormal snoring could signal that you or a loved one has sleep apnea. This condition refers to an interruption of breathing during sleep, which often prevents sufferers from entering Rapid eye movement “REM” sleep. REM sleep is the type of sleep we need to be truly rested when we wake up. Those with sleep apnea are usually unaware of their struggle to breathe, but probably notice the tiresome fatigue they experience during the day, indicating poor quality sleep. So quality of sleep is what keeps us alert, focused and Read more:Sleep
The truth about anti snoring devices. 2007-08-27 07:44:24 There are a lot of anti snoring devices available in the market. Some of them claim to cure your snore forever.
But are they really that efficient..!
First of all you should know the cause of snoring. It can be one of the many causes, some of them I have taken up in the earlier posts. The main reason being soft tissues or weak muscles in the throat that cause obstruction of air passages while breathing in our sleep. When we are sleeping our muscles are in the relaxed form so we don’t have much control over them.
A good quality sleep is very important for our mental and physical health. Every aspect of our life can be affected by the quality of sleep we get. If its poor quality sleep or our natural sleep cycle is disturbed, its can have a negative effect on us. Sleepiness, tiredness, headaches, lack of concentration, intolerance can be some of the symptoms caused by lack of good sleep.
Now snoring can affect both the snorer as well as his or her sleeping partner. Most of us are tempte
Snoring to headaches. 2007-09-26 01:49:55 A new study finds a link between snoring and chronic daily headache. The study, published in the April 22 issue of Neurology, the scientific journal of the American Academy of Neurology, examined the snoring habits of people with chronic daily headache and people with occasional headaches
.
Chronic daily headache was defined as people with at least 15 headaches per month. Occasional headache was defined as two to 104 headaches per year.People with chronic daily headache were more than twice as likely to also be chronic snorers than the people with occasional headaches. The result was the same even when adjusting for factors that can affect breathing in sleep, such as body mass index and alcohol intake.
“If we can show that the snoring is causing the headaches, then we may be able to stop or lessen people’s headaches by treating their snoring,” said study author Ann Scher, PhD, of the National Institute on Aging in Bethesda, Md. “This would be a great reli Read more:Snoring
Pacemaker Patients Should Be Screened for Sleep Apnea 2007-10-16 01:52:14 In a study, researchers found that almost 60 percent of pacemaker patients had undiagnosed sleep apnea which might have possibly contributed to their heart disease. This study is reported in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association.
Moreover, more than 21 percent of the patients had severe sleep apnea, characterized by 30 or more periods of interrupted breathing each hour during sleep, said Patrick Lévy, M.D., Ph.D., senior author of the study and a professor physiology at Grenoble University in Grenoble, France.
“Because of the excessive prevalence of undiagnosed sleep apnea we found, it could be recommended that all patients referred for a pacemaker should first be screened for sleep apnea. Sleep
apnea is known to increase risk of cardiovascular disease,” Lévy said.
In the study, researchers investigated the prevalence and consequences of undiagnosed sleep apnea in pacemaker pati Read more:Apnea

Snoring, sleep apnea and pregnancy. 2007-10-15 01:57:07 Now as you know loud snoring may be a symptom of sleep apnea. When a person is suffering from this problem, they will stop breathing countless times during the night while they are sleeping. They will eventually start breathing with in a gap of few seconds with a feeling of breathlessness. Now this obstruction of breathing may be stressful for the body especially the heart and the brain as the amount of oxygen in the blood goes down when you don’t breathe.
Current research indicates that undiagnosed sleep apnea during pregnancy (SAPS) puts mothers at risk for the following complications in pregnancy:
growth retardation of the fetus (low birth weight)
pre-eclampsia (pregnancy-induced hypertension)
placenta abruptia (tearing of the placenta from the uterine wall)
premature delivery.
Why it may happen?
Obesity is a major risk factor for sleep apnea, and some experts believe that pregnancy may also make you more susceptible, particularly in the third trimester. The Read more:Snoring
Pain Killers can cause Sleep Apnea. 2007-10-14 11:35:05 A never-before-reported association has been found between opioids like methadone and benzodiazepines used by chronic pain patients and sleep-disordered breathing.
“We found that sleep-disordered breathing was common when chronic pain patients took prescribed opioids,” explains lead author Lynn R. Webster, MD, from Lifetree Clinical Research and Pain Clinic in Salt Lake City, Utah. “We also found a direct dose-response relationship between central sleep apnea and methadone and benzodiazepines, an association which had not been previously reported.”
Opioids, effective medications for chronic pain treatment, are often used for cancer patients, but are now gaining widespread acceptance as long-term therapy for chronic pain unrelated to cancer. An increasing number of patients with nonmalignant chronic pain are receiving around-the-clock pain relief through opioid therapy.
The researchers studied sleep lab data on 140 patients taking around-the-clock opioid therapy for c Read more:Sleep

Snoring and Sleep Apnea 2007-10-13 00:09:52 Snoring and sleep apnea are interrelated. Snoring can be a symptom of sleep apnea Or in other words Sleep
apnea is more chronic form of snoring which has to be taken seriously.
Sleep Apnea
is a sleep disorder causing interruptions in the regular breathing process of the human body. It’s not just about sound.
Apnea, the Greek word literally means without breath. The Blockage of the air passage while sleeping is Sleep Apnea
. A huge percentage of the population, irrespective of age are victims of Sleep Apnea.
A person with Sleep Apnea often wakes up in the middle of his sleep, almost breathless to regain the rhythm of breathing. It’s a life threatening, progressive disorder which has to be treated.
Symptoms of Sleep Apnea can be as follows
Regular blockage of air passage
Loud snoring
Frequent break down of sleep to normalize breathing
Sweating during night
Dry mouth, sore throat
Sleepiness during day time
Lethargy
Loss of memory
Morning fatigue when waking
Change in personality Read more:Snoring
CPAPs and Snoring. 2007-10-12 00:30:42 To counteract the airflow disruption in the throats while asleep, apnea sufferers are often prescribed respiration machines that deliver continuous positive airway pressure( called CPAP ) — inflating the throat, keeping your airways open.
A CPAP device consists of an air blower which you place next to your bed, and a mask which fits over over your nose during sleep. The pressure from the air blower forces air through your nasal passages. This Sleep Apnea Machine keeps the airway from collapsing and opens a proper air passage by continuously pumping in air into the respiratory tract either through the nose or mouth. CPAP systems have been shown highly effective in preventing sleep apnea and snoring.
This is a lifetime treatment: apnea episodes return as soon as you ditch your CPAP machine. Why would you do that? Many people have found CPAP systems unbearably claustrophobic; they may cause nasal irritation and drying, facial skin irr Read more:Snoring
Inconsistent sleep patterns can lead to health issues. 2007-11-06 11:48:59 An extra hour of sleep — or possibly not if you’re a night owl — is on the calendar for this weekend.
Daylight-saving time ends early Sunday morning, and it will be time to turn the clocks back an hour to return to standard time.
If you find yourself extra tired for a day or two around fall and spring time changes, you’re probably not the only one yawning.
For every hour of change, your body takes about a day to adjust, said Dr. Danny Bartel, a neurologist who works as medical director of the Sleep Lab at United Regional Health Care System.
“It’s the same as jet lag,” Bartel said. “You change the clock, you change your Circadian rhythm.”
A Circadian rhythm is a daily rhythmic activity cycle, based on 24-hour intervals, that is exhibited by many organisms including man.
While many people will be back to normal by Monday or Tuesday, people who work nights, have staggered schedules, or just plain don’t get enough sleep might deal with extreme tiredness and other sleep Read more:Inconsistent
