Partner snoring

 This is a question I will say yes, so many people feel the same way and have asked these question quite number times about the causes and possible solutions as regards to snoring while sleeping. It is one of the habits that can make partners loose intimacy in their relationship  In this article, we shall be discussing not just “what to do about snoring” but also the causes and possible solutions/what you should do in such circumstance. I want to believe we have an idea of what snoring is but for those who are still in thoughts about the meaning, we shall be discussing briefly about snoring.

WHAT IS SNORING: According to Wikipedia,snoring(read more) can be define as the obstruction of movement of air when sleeping. Snoring can also be defined as that moment or period you are asleep and can’t move air freely through your nose and throat. This makes the surrounding tissue vibrate and then produces snoring sound. Having known what snoring is all about let’s now look at the causes of snoring.

CAUSES OF SNORING: There are symptoms as regards to the cause of snoring. So many of us believe the only cause of snoring is when a person is fat; but in the cause of this article I will make you know other ways that can cause a person to snore thus:

1)      Having an extra tissue in the throat can cause someone to snore that’s in the process of breathing; the other issue vibrates thereby producing a sound called snore. The people who are mostly likely to have this extra bulky throat issue are pregnant women, obese, or overweight people and this is due to large adenoids, long soft palate, or long uvula e.t.c

2)      Another thing that can cause someone to snore is anything that prevents you from breathing through your nose and this can include: congestion from cold or flu, or deviated septum.

3)      Another thing that can cause someone to snore is excessive daytime (all work) without sleep. This is when you are too tired and depressed; it can make you snore while in bed.

4)      Another thing that can cause snoring is your sleeping position. It has been discovered that those who sleep on the back are most likely to snore than those who sleep by the side.

5)      Another cause of snoring is as a result of small or collapsing nostrils. Probably some of us don’t know how we breathe because it’s natural, we just sleep, breathe, and wake up and that’s all. So now you know a small or collapsing nostril can cause someone to snore due to the thin passage of air.

SNORING DEEPLY

6)      Another reason that can cause someone to snore is over eating and lack of exercise. When you eat too much and exercise less there is a tendency for you to snore due to the excessive body fat. A person with short fat neck is at an increased risk of snoring.

7)      Another cause of snoring is if the person most likely uses his/her mouth to breathe and opens it while sleeping.

Other causes may include: headache, age, nasal congestion, itching, sneezing, disrupted sleep at night and fatigue. Having known what snoring is and the causes of snoring let’s now look at the possible solutions or what you should do.

POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS OF SNORING OR WHAT YOU SHOULD DO:

If you snore at night regularly, it can disrupt your sleep leading to daytime fatigue and increase in health problems and if your snoring keeps your partner awake, it can create major relationship problem.  Having a separate room isn’t the only remedy for eluding snoring. There are many effective solutions that can help both you and your partner at night and overcome the relationship problems caused by snoring of a partner:

1)      First of all identify how your partner snores if it is a close mouth then it’s placing of the tongue, if it is an open mouth then it is a problem from the tissue, then if it is snoring in all positions that means he/she requires comprehensive treatment.

2)      You can tell your partner to get used to sleeping on his/her side instead of the back

3)      If your partner has a stuffy nose, blow it off and rinse thoroughly before bedtime, try as much as possible to stay away from dust probably it usually affects him/her by causing nasal congestion.

4)      If your partner is the overweight type then ensure he/she reduce fat in the body by avoiding fatty foods and regular exercise.

5)      If your partner smokes the chances of snoring is very high, so you can advice your partner to quit smoking.

2)      Close your mouth and pause your lips. Hold for 30 seconds.

3)      Spend some time singing. It can increase muscle control in the throat and soft palate.

CONCLUSION: If after doing all this for some time and you see no improvements in your partner or your partner still disturbs you in bed time please do not fail to consult a medical practitioner as the case may involve the secondary causes of snoring like the nasal congestion, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), Palatal implants and so on, but I assure you the steps above will make you enjoy your sleep time.
