Snoring: A common sleep disorder

Sleep consumes as much as one-third or more of the average human's

life. Even if people hope for restful sleep, many types of sleep

disorder reduce the quality and quantity of sleep. Snoring is the

most common cause of sleep disorder that affects people.

Snoring is divided into two categories: Obstructive sleep apnea and

Primary snoring.

Obstructive sleep apnea: Loud, excessive snoring, interrupted by

breathing stoppages and gasping for breath. Other symptoms include

excessive sleepiness in the daytime and obesity. Also, it was found

that is more common in male.

Primary Snoring: is very common and is unrelated to apneic episodes.

Primary snoring may be an early predictor for people who will

eventually develop obstructive sleep apnea. This progression is more

likely in people at ages 35-40 and who undergo a weight gain.

Primary snoring is characterized by loud noises that disturb the

sleeper or sleep partners and can be caused by different types of

problems: anatomic - if the oropharynx is smaller or more narrow

than normal, a deviated nasal septum, hypertrophy of the tonsils

and/or adenoids, temporary or permanent enlargement of the nasal

turbinate (nasal obstruction), mandibular abnormalities, or tongue

enlargement and smoking.

Medical consequences: The obstructive sleep apnea should always be

checked by a physician. The fact that you won't receive the proper

amount of air will lead in time to serious diseases. Not enough air

means poor blood and brain oxygenation. Even primary snoring can

signal other morbid conditions. Nocturnal asthma may be a cause of

snoring and snoring may be a trigger for nocturnal asthma. The day

time tiredness and sleepiness is only a residual effect of snoring.

Snoring often coexists with hypertension, heart disease, asthma and

brain ischemia.

Smoking - Cigarette smoking has been demonstrated to be the cause of

numerous medical problems, including snoring. The cause is the

negative effect of smoking on mucociliary clearance reducing the

ciliary mobility, increasing the upper airway blockages and allowing

mucus to collect. This effect can even occur through exposure to

second-hand smoke.

Nasal Obstruction - a normal breathe through the nose while sleeping

will not cause snoring. When a nasal obstruction appears that we

must breathe through the mouth, increasing the risk of snoring.

Opening the airway passages through the upper respiratory tract is

one solution to snoring.

Depending on your snoring pattern, Salin air salinizer could be a

real help to prevent and reduce snoring. The fact that the inhaled

saline has bactericide, mucokinetic, hydrophilic and anti

inflammatory properties leads to reducing inflammation in the mucosa

lining the airway passages, opening and widening the airway. Will

restore the normal transport of mucus and unclog the blockages

absorbing the edema of the nasal mucosa and the oropharynx and the

soft palate, causing nasal obstruction and snoring. Widening the

airway passage in the nose and the tubes of the sinuses will also

improve the sinuses drainage and will reduce snoring.

However, if a person seems to gasp for breath during sleep, the

snoring may be caused by obstructive sleep apnea and this is a

serious medical condition and he/she should see a doctor.

Thinking now about pets, they are part of our life, day and night,

including their problems. A dog snoring pattern is very much the

same as ours and looking for a snoring help, a snoring device or a

home remedy for snoring dog is not a problem anymore. As your pet

could have also asthma or snoring the salinized air will work great

also for him.
