What is snoring?
For most of us, snoring is a sign of deep sleep. However,
for others signify a serious problem. Snoring is a common problem for 60%
of all
men, and 40% of all women over 60 years of age and 10% of men and 5%
of women over 30 years of age. Many of them are unaware that they snore.
Why do we snore?
When the soft palate and tongue are
relaxed during sleep, the natural airway narrows. This may create the
vibrations of the soft tissue in
the throat which are known as snoring.
