Snoring man and young woman. Couple sleeping in bed.

Snoring is a common sleep disorder that affects 20% of the Australian population. About 9% of women and 25% of men have obstructive sleep apnea due to obesity. If snoring happens a lot when you sleep, there could be an underlying health condition you need to address.

So, how do you prevent snoring? Here’s what you need to know about this matter.

What is snoring?

Snoring is noisy breathing occurring every night or at an intermittent time. It occurs when air flows in a narrow airway especially when throat muscles relax too much. When there is a restricted passageway for the air to flow, the throat walls begin to vibrate and thus lead to the noise called snoring.

Some snoring can be relatively quiet on an infrequent basis. This often has no correlation to underlying health problems. Meanwhile, regular snoring is accompanied by breathing problems, which affects sleep.

Specialists detect a more problematic snoring that occurs every night at loud decibels. Noisy snoring is frequently tied to sleep apnea and related health conditions. People who suffer from this condition tend to sleep lighter and wake up occasionally at night.

Causes of snoring

Snoring is just a symptom of an underlying cause and is difficult to identify what causes it. However, doctors pinpoint the most common cases:

1. Sleeping position.

Those who sleep on their backs are more prone to snoring because their throat muscles tend to relax more. You can either change your position or buy an adjustable bed for a better sleep set-up.

2. Weight

Your body weight is often the biggest reason why you’re snoring. Fatty tissues around your throat muscles restrict airflow due to a narrow passageway.

3. Age.

People aging between 30 and 65 may experience snoring due to the throat becoming narrower as they grow older. While age is a factor you can’t control, there are other ways of improving airflow in the body.

4. Nasal problems.

Your snoring can be triggered by nasal problems that restrict airway. The congestion stops your breath and causes harsh triggers in the throat muscles to vibrate noisily.

5. Late-night binge eating.

Eating a lot at night causes snoring because heavy digestion promotes muscle rest. Overly relaxed muscles restrict the airway and make the muscles walls to vibrate when breathing.

6. Pregnancy.

Pregnancy can cause snoring because it allows mucous membranes to swell, thus leading to nasal congestion. What’s more, weight gain is also an issue pregnant mothers need to consider.

7. High blood pressure

Hypertension happens when a person consumes too much salty, processed, and fatty-rich food. Those who have low physical activity, and drink and smoke regularly have experienced high blood pressure.

Sleep disturbances like snoring can make you feel exhausted the next and deter your daily activities. If left untreated, it can get worse.

If you find yourself snoring or diagnosed with sleep apnea, here’s how an adjustable bed from Solace Sleep can help you out.

Relieves pressure on the throat

In order to ease the pressure on your muscle throat, adjustable beds elevate the head to relieve the throat muscles. That way, it can prevent blockages in your airways.

Improve sleeping positions

One main benefit of an adjustable bed is its ability to recline and shift accordingly to fit sleeping positions. What’s more, it prevents acid reflux from going up your throat which hampers airflow.

Provides relaxation

Looking to sleep better? Just lower the bed and adjust its position to a more comfortable one. Many adjustable beds come with a remote control device for easy change.

Compatible with most anti-snoring devices

Treatments and devices like the continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for sleep apnea work well with adjustable beds. The bedsteads are equipped with slides that allow you to reach your equipment despite whatever position you are in.

Lessens the need for more pillows

A lot of people use pillows to stop turning positions or elevate their heads for better airflow. But pillows can slip and snorers’ sleeping positions can change. And once you know it, they’re back to snoring.

Improves blood circulation

Adjustable beds can help reduce high blood pressure by alleviating pressure points of the body when sleeping. It promotes circulation and better airflow in the body.

If you’re looking into a non-medical treatment for your snoring problems, investing in an adjustable bed is a good option. Apart from snoring, the bed can treat other issues and body aches.

What exactly is the NDIS? Am I eligible?

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a new way of providing support for people living with disability. It’s a whole-of-life approach â€“ a major reform of disability services in Australia, designed to provide the right support according to each person’s needs and goals.

The NDIS replaces the old system of ‘block’ funds going to the organisations providing support. Instead, eligible people are assessed and allocated individualised funding. The idea is that everyone’s support needs are different and that each person can exercise choice and control over what services and supports they receive.

If you have evidence of your disability and how it impacts you, then you are likely to be eligible to apply to this program.
