1st of all, here is my way to solve the
problem:
('cause I can snore like an orc)
I repeat the following little monolog:
“I’m
not snoring, I sleep silent.”
...until I fell asleep. Like counting sheep :]] (how stupid is that..lol!)
It’s a kind of
self-suggestion. I order my brain what I want him to do with my body while I'm sleeping. Takes a couple days to get used to it, but if I do it every night it stays like that: I will not snore. It helps a lot especially for married couples, because the wife won’t suffer
anymore… unless she snores too :]]
I made a little research on the internet about this annoying ... male-function ha-ha:]
Where the snoring sound
comes from?
In the night when we sleep the soft muscles of the upper airways getting
relaxed and loose.
The in and out moving air makes them vibrating.
The upper airways are: roof
of the mouth, back of the tongue, back and sidewalls of the throat.
Reasons of snoring:
- Deep sleep – because this is the time
when the muscles are the most relaxed and loose.
- Tiredness – because the person falls
suddenly in deep sleep.
-
Sleeping on the back – because the
tongue slips back in the throat and tightens the airway. This causes faster
airspeed and stronger vibration.
- Age – because by getting older the muscles in the throat become week.
- Overweight – because the extra fat is
also growing between our nose and upper throat making the airways more narrow.
- Tonsils – because big nose- and
throat-tonsils will make the airways smaller as well.
-
Painkillers, alcohol, cigarettes, too much food before sleep – these things make the muscles relax much more and faster. The
walls of the upper throat are touching each other, making no way for the air.
- Allergy, flu – because the throat and
nose can get infected which can close the airways totally.
If u want to save than try my method. (And I tell you a bonus secret too: it works not only with snoring.)
Sweet dreams!
