Identifying the Snoring Problem so you can Solve it

I wanted to talk to you about the snoring problem you or a loved one is suffering from. What I find most alarming about this particular issue is that no one really tries to solve it. People would rather go their entire lives doing this while they sleep, rather than learning how to approach the problem. I believe a big reason that this is the case is that no one knows anything about snoring. Any other issue in your life, you’re going to have a rough idea how it works and because you know how it works you can solve it. I’m going to identify the main characteristic of your snoring problem, so you can be in a position to solve it.

The rumbling you hear when you snore is produced in the throat area as air travels through it. You can sort of hear a flapping sound or the sound of something moving as you snore. That is loose tissue in your throat. It is basically in that area and as air travels through that area it will flap.

This should bring up the obvious question of why this only happens when you’re asleep. You’re still breathing while you’re awake and that tissue is still in your throat. This is a question that has plagued medical researchers for a number of years. They were easily able to identify what was making the sounds, but they couldn’t identify the change in the anatomy that led to it.

Well, I’m going to surprise you, but the snoring problem is created by your jaw and the way that it aligns up to your top teeth. When you’re awake the muscles on your face and neck force the lower jaw into alignment. As you fall asleep your muscles go limp and that allows the jaw to move back. This movement back pushes it right down on the throat area creating pressure and that is the problem.

The proper way to beat this snoring problem is through full control the jaw, so that it stays aligned while you’re asleep. The best way I’ve come across for doing this is with a jaw supporter. It is a really simple device that you put on before you go to bed that hold your jaw in position. It seems like such a thing would be uncomfortable, but isn’t.
