You Snore? Here's WHY You Snore
by Harold Ulvaeus

So you are a snorer? Snoring is the butt of many jokes, but it is not that funny when you or even worse, your partner, snores.

The snoring can be soft and short in duration which makes it a small problem, but when it is quite loud, lasting for large parts of the night it can be seriously disruptive. Being continually awakened through the night can have not only both emotional and mental effects by physiological effects as well.

There are many devices, methods and contraptions on the market attempting to help the snorer. Some of them work, some do not work at all.One of the reasons for the lesser success rate is that people snore for a variety of reasons and you need a device or method that deals with the CAUSE of the snoring.

Strapping your chin to keep your mouth shut, or sleeping on a special pillow, or forcing you to sleep on your side may bring some temporary relief, but as soon as that chin strap comes off, you are snoring again.

Other natural methods may work to some extent, such as changing position in bed to your side instead of sleeping on your back, yoga, abstaining from alcohol etc. While some of these methods may be helpful, they too will only work as long as you do them.

The most common causes of snoring are all related to the tissue in and around the mouth and throat from narrow nasal passages, stuffy nose, weak muscles in the throat, tense muscles in the jaw, soft palate being weak and falling into throat and the tongue being weak falling backwards and partially blocking the airways.

This is great news. In the same way, (but much easier) you exercise other muscles for tone, the muscles and tissue around your airways can be toned and strengthened by spending a few minutes per day doing easy and pleasant exercises. With toned muscles in your throat and jaw and tongue, your snoring will only exist in your memory. (And in your partner's)
