Overview of Snoring

Snoring is a common sleep-related disorder that occurs when the flow of air through the mouth and throat produces a sound due to the vibration of the soft tissues. It can range from soft, gentle sounds to loud and disruptive noises.

➜ Snoring can be caused by various factors, including:

➜ Relaxed throat muscles

➜ Excess throat tissue

➜ Nasal congestion

➜ Sleep position

➜ Smoking

➜ Older age

➜ Alcohol use

➜ Sedative use

Occasional snoring is common and doesn’t happen often for some people. However, chronic or loud snoring can disrupt sleep patterns and affect overall sleep quality. Snoring may affect not only the snorer but also their sleep partner, potentially leading to fragmented sleep and daytime fatigue.

Impact of Snoring

Snoring might seem like it is common or harmless, but it can have several consequences for both the snorer and their sleep partner.

Here are some of the impacts of snoring and why it is worth treating:

➜ Disrupted Sleep:

Snoring often disrupts the sleep of both the snorer and their partner, leading to poorer sleep quality. The noise and associated discomfort can cause frequent awakenings.

➜ Daytime Fatigue:

Poor sleep quality due to snoring can result in daytime fatigue, drowsiness, and reduced concentration.

➜ Day-to-day Challenges:

Poor sleep can negatively impact daily activities, such as work or driving, increasing the risk of accidents.

➜ Relationship Strain:

When one partner’s snoring disturbs the other’s sleep, it can lead to relationship strain and even separate sleeping arrangements. You deserve to be able to share a bed with your partner.

➜ Health Consequences:

Loud and persistent snoring can be a sign of underlying health issues like obstructive sleep apnea, which is linked to more severe health problems.

➜ Quality of Life:

The ongoing impact of snoring on daily life, relationships, and health can reduce the quality of life for the snorer and their partner.

Snoring can also be a sign of sleep apnea, so getting tested and diagnosed is essential.

These real-life impacts show why it is worth getting treated for snoring. Our sleep professionals at Complete Health Sleep of SoCal are experienced in treating sleep apnea and snoring.

Oral Devices for Snoring

Oral device therapy is an effective treatment for treating snoring and is approved by the FDA. Oral devices fit comfortably in your mouth while you sleep and look like a mouthguard or retainer. This treatment option keeps your airway open to prevent vibrations and obstructions. These devices reposition the jaw or tongue based on your diagnosis and anatomical needs. Our Poway/Rancho Bernardo-based sleep professionals custom-build these devices based on the structure of your mouth and are designed to treat your specific condition. These devices can allow you to regain your sleep and treat this condition.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between snoring and sleep apnea?

Snoring is the sound produced when the flow of air through the mouth and throat is partially blocked during sleep. Sleep apnea, on the other hand, is a sleep disorder characterized by repeated pauses in breathing during sleep, which can lead to oxygen deprivation and various health issues. While snoring can be a symptom of sleep apnea, not all snorers have sleep apnea, and the main distinction is the presence of these breathing interruptions in sleep apnea. Both can be serious health conditions if untreated. Our team at Complete Health Sleep of SoCal diagnoses and treats both disorders.
