What Are the Causes of Snoring?

Snoring is a condition caused when the soft palate and uvula relax during sleep and obstruct your breathing passages, creating irregular airflow and vibrations. This phenomenon has a variety of sources, including:

Genetic predisposition
Obesity
Obstruction of nasal passages
Sleep apnea
Misaligned jaw
Sleeping position
Alcohol consumption and smoking
Sleep deprivation

A thorough review of your medical history and evaluation of your condition will allow Dr. Joorabchi to accurately diagnose the causes of your snoring. He will then talk you through treatment options to find one that fits your lifestyle.

Lifestyle changes

These snoring treatments focus on making everyday changes to the way you live. They can vary by effectiveness and by how difficult they may be to sustain in your life. Some of the changes that may be recommended include:

Changing sleep position - avoid sleeping on your back because gravity works against you in this position
Getting consistent, sufficient sleep - being overtired and exhausted can lead you to sleep hard, causing the muscles to relax too much
Nasal decongestant methods - things like taking a hot shower before bed or using nasal strips can open up your air passages
Avoiding alcohol before bed - alcohol consumption within five hours of sleep can induce over-relaxation of your throat muscles
Quitting smoking - smoking can cause irritation and inflammation leading to obstructed passageways
Using a humidifier at night - this keeps dry air from irritating your membranes
Losing weight - decreasing the excess fat in your face and neck can reduce the occurrence of airway obstruction
Using a positive pressure device - a CPAP machine forces air into your nose and/or mouth as you sleep keeping passageways open

Surgical Techniques

More aggressive treatment is sometimes recommended depending on the cause and severity of a patient's condition. These can include:

Somnoplasty - reduces the size of the uvula and soft palate using radiofrequency energy
Injection snoreplasty - safe, durable materials are injected into the soft palate to make it more rigid and less likely to obstruct breathing
Coblation palatoplasty - surgically reduces the size of the uvula and soft palate
Implants - devices like Inspire® can regulate muscle response to minimize passageway obstruction
