What is Sleep Apnea?
Snoring is caused by a partial blockage to the free flow of air through the passages at the back of the mouth and nose. As the muscles of the tongue and back of the throat - which normally keep the airway open - relax during sleep, they fall toward each other and vibrate, causing the noise.
According to the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, an estimated 45 % of normal adults snore at least occasionally; 25 percent are habitual snorers. It occurs more frequently in males and overweight persons, and usually grows worse with age.
Mild cases of snoring may not cause a problem for the snorer but can certainly make it difficult for a spouse or roommate to sleep. If snoring is severe, it may be a sign of sleep apnea, a condition that requires a doctor's care.
