2.Symptoms of snoring

So firstly we discuss about symptoms of wheezing or sleep sounds, it will help you understand and locate problem easily:

1. Loud breathing sound during sleep: During sleep when air flow interrupts and become difficult for it to pass through our nasal passage or throat then it creates sound such as grunting, rattling or vibrating sound.
2. Not even sleep: As due to snoring one has to wake up during night many times this causes restlessness and interrupts sleep.
3. Daytime fatigue:  After sleeping full night person feels tired or drowsy in daytime.
4. Dry mouth: As due to nasal blockage, whole night snorer breaths from mouth that’s why he/she wakes up with dry mouth or throat irritation.
5. Pauses in breathing: It is observed by others it is indication for obstructive sleep apnea.

3.Causes of snoring

Let’s dive in the topic where we discuss causes of this sound problem which irritates at night, basically sleeping sounds caused by vibration of tissues in throat due to restriction in airflow. Here I list out some common causes of snoring:

1. Nasal issues: When nasal airways are blocked due to seasonal allergies, cold or sinus then it forces us to breathe through mouth which ultimately leads to uneven sound from nasal passage.
2. Obesity:  When fat around a person’s neck increases it creates pressure on air passage, which makes you or your partner human train.
3. Sleep Position: Inappropriate position of sleeping plays crucial role in sleeping sounds.
4. Age: This also considered an important factor in snoring, as people age increases, muscles in throat become weaker, hence results in snoring. But few cases are found with new born babies also produces wheezing sound.
5. Alcohol and Sedatives: These affects muscles in throat, so consumption of these leads to same problem, as you all know Homies.
6. Sleep Apnea: One of the major cause of snorting.
7. Enlarged Tonsils: Tonsils enlargement also plays vital role.
8. Gender: Men are more snorer than women because they have narrower air passage.
9. Dehydration: When a person is dehydrated it brings many problems with it, so snorting is also part of it.

So dear Homies, considering these causes find your problem and take some home remedies for your treatment as I personally felt that, home remedies are best than any other treatment, so at first we understand our problem and after that take corrective measures to treat it. So now, let’s discuss some different types of snoring, it helps to list out your problem easily-

4.Types of Snoring

So let’s discuss some common types of snoring, which helps you to find out in which category you fall:

1. Nasal type

• Cause: If we talk about nasal snoring it is caused due to allergies, sinus, nasal polyps, or deviated septum.
• Sound: Whistling or rattling sound, originates from nose.

2. Mouth Snoring

• Cause: When snorer sleeps with keeping mouth open, due to blocked nasal passage or relaxed throat muscles.
• Sound: Low, rumbling noise, sound originates when mouth is open.

3. Tongue-Based

• Cause: During night tongue falls backward, due to which airway blocks. This type of snoring is common in people with naturally large tongue or those who sleep on their back.
• Sound: Deep, rattling sound occurs.

4. Throat-Based

• Cause: Throat muscles during sleep, partially blocks airway due to relaxed or weak throat. Often due to obesity or alcohol consumption.
• Sound: Loud and irregular, sometimes accompanied with gasping or choking.

5. Mixed

• Cause: As name clearly suggest it is a combination of nasal, mouth, tongue, or throat snoring. Clearly full package.
• Sound: Sounds in this type of snoring varies, depending on the contributing factors.

6. Positional

• Cause: Occurs only when person sleeps on his/her back, as due to gravity air passage collapse.
• Sound: Sounds normally stops after changing position.

7. Chronic Snoring

• Cause: In this type of snoring, it usually occurs due to anatomical issues (e.g., obesity, deviated septum, or enlarged tonsils). 
• Sound: Continuous and loud.

But I want to clearly mention that these sounds can vary person to person, so just go and check your partner what sound produces by him/her and comment us below. And if you are snorer then, discuss with your sleeping partner. As these sounds doesn’t make problems for snorer, these opportunity lies in the destiny of partner, because in most of the cases snores doesn’t aware of this problem.
