Stop snoring and open your eyes to a better night’s sleep.
Being a snorer can feel both embarrassing and debilitating. Whether you’re exhausted from interrupted sleep, your partner is fed up or you’re stressed that you can’t find a cure; rather than smother the problem with a pillow, it’s time to #openup about what’s really going on and how you can get to the bottom of it.
What is snoring and sleep apnea / apnoea?
Snoring is quite simple – it’s noisy breathing. While you sleep, your throat muscles relax, your tongue falls backward and your throat becomes narrow and droopy. Then when you breathe in, the throat walls begin to vibrate, causing that deep rumbling sound likened to a chainsaw. The narrower it becomes, the louder you snore. However, when the throat walls collapse completely, you actually stop breathing in your sleep. This is a serious medical condition called sleep apnoea – so if you are waking feeling unrested or your partner notices an unusual sleeping breathing pattern, consult your GP.
