Why Do People Snore?

Snoring is a problem for many people, although it tends to be a problem for other people rather than the snorer themselves. The person snoring is often fast asleep, oblivious to the noise that they are making, while those around them are being kept awake by the racket.
Snoring can put a strain on relationships, and partners will sometimes have to sleep in separate rooms because of the disturbance it causes. It is involuntary, but there are some steps that can be taken to help prevent it from happening.

1. Age
People tend to snore more often as they get older. This is largely because, as we age, the passage of our throat becomes narrower and the muscles become less toned. This means that the air that we breathe has a smaller passage to pass through, potentially resulting in snoring. Ageing is inevitable and there is little we can do about its effects. We can at least help to slow the onset of ageing and reduce the impact it will have on the quality of our lives. This includes exercising and eating well, which will help to keep you in good shape, and it could also help to prevent snoring.
