Jokes are jokes, and because of snoring people get divorced. It is clear that this is far from the only reason. But often it is precisely because one of the partners doesn’t get enough sleep that other problems begin, which leads to a break in relations.
A full rest is vital for every person. Lack of sleep leads to a huge number of problems: there is nervousness and irritability, digestive problems and headaches. For this reason, snoring of one of the partners can lead to very real problems in the relationship. Furilia decided to figure out what to do in this case.
Why do people snore in their sleep?
Most often, the cause should be sought from an otolaryngologist. Most likely, snoring is associated with specific diseases. Sometimes in a completely healthy person, it may appear due to excess weight. A broken nose is another reason a person can start snoring in a dream.
According to the Spanish Society of Otolaryngology, the main causes of snoring include:
• Age changes in the structure of the nasopharynx (over the years, the muscles become weaker, resulting in obstacles to the passage of air).
• Allergies, colds, or respiratory illness (This is a seasonal phenomenon, therefore, the reason for its occurrence should be excluded).
• Fractures, polyps and other abnormalities nasal septum structures that interfere with normal air circulation.
• Overweight.
• Alcohol consumption and some medications.
Until you find a reason, getting rid of snoring is useless. You will continue to suffer from insomnia and chronic lack of sleep. Therefore, in the first place, a possible cause of a breathing problem should be excluded, and only then get rid of snoring.
What can be done?
