Snoring happens when the airflow through your nasal passages is blocked. There can be many causes for this. One of the most common is sleep apnea, which can be dangerous if not treated. But other causes can lead to snoring.

Having a snoring issue is not a laughing matter for those who wake up several times each night. When sleep patterns are disrupted it can lead to chronic fatigue and other more serious health issues. Not to mention the stress it puts on your significant other.

Lesser-known causes for snoring include:

•       Alcohol
•       Sedatives
•       Smoking
•       Deviated septum
•       Chronic nasal congestion
•       Sinus infection
•       Aging
•       Sleep position

Some of these are treatable via a change in your daily habits, while others are not. If you suffer from insomnia you must decide if it’s worth a good night’s sleep to quit smoking and refrain from alcohol before bedtime. Your physician can help you with medications that can treat sinus infections and nasal congestion.

But for those who suffer from sleep apnea or awkward sleep positions, a sleep study can help you immensely. By studying how you sleep and when your sleep is interrupted, a sleep device can be designed to help your unique situation.
