Snoring usually bothers other people more than it bothers the person actually "suffering" from the condition. Sometimes people who make loud noises in their sleep because of obstructed breathing don't find out they are suffering from this condition until someone tells them. However, other people who snore actually wake themselves up with the noise they are making.
Some snorers find themselves living in a constant state of sleep deprivation. Some find that they are not getting enough air and wake up gasping for breath. These people really do suffer from their condition.
A number of underlying conditions are associated with snoring and treatment is most often successful if it treats the condition that causes the noise. For example many people snore when they have a cold or allergy that causes their nasal passages to become congested. Their problem goes away when they recover from the cold or treat the allergy symptoms.
A condition known as deviated septum often causes a sleeper to struggle loudly for air. One of the nostrils is smaller than the other. When the sleeper lies on the opposite side gravity causes the fleshy part of the nose to press down on the nostril and obstruct the flow of air.
Troubled sleepers with this condition have found it helpful to insert a small structure into the nostril to keep the air passage open. Various types of these gadgets are available online. One sufferer discovered that the sterilized cone-shaped tips of a certain brand of ball point pens works well for this purpose.
Sleep apnea is the major-league cause of noisy sleeping. The volume of noise produced by sleep apnea sufferers can be truly awe inspiring. Roommates and bed partners do not exaggerate when they describe windows rattling as they would in response to a railroad train hurtling past the room.
Often the solution recommended for this condition is surgery. This treatment has been described as an interior face lift. It prevents loose tissue from obstructing the airways.
A new alternative solution is related to acupuncture and acupressure. The theory is that certain points on the body will stimulate muscles associated with other parts of the body. Apart from the elasticity of the skin itself what prevents flesh from sagging is muscle tone.
A tiny ring worn is worn on one finger during sleep. It stimulates the pressure points that connect to muscles in the breathing passages. To someone familiar with acupressure the idea of a snoring ring doesn't sound crazy. It sounds like a solution.
