What Causes Snoring?
Your mouth and throat tissues become relaxed when you fall asleep, causing them to fall back toward your throat. This creates crowding of the throat by the tongue and soft palate, resulting in a partially blocked airway. Air passing through this narrow airway causes your throat tissues to vibrate. This vibrating airflow as you breathe is what creates the snoring sound.
What is Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)?
For some people, when they fall asleep, the tongue and soft tissues obstruct air from entering their lungs. If the amount of oxygen in your blood drops too low because of this, your brain sends a message to your body to unblock the airway. Your body’s internal panic leads to an increase in your heart rate then a tightening of your throat muscles, resulting in a loud gasp or snort, which means you partially awaken. The airflow to the body begins again after this reaction occurs. Once the body is relaxed, the cycle starts all over again.
