Obesity and Snoring: Improve Your Sleep
Snoring is a common problem that can disrupt both your sleep quality and that of your partner. Did you know that being overweight can be a major cause of snoring? Being overweight narrows the airways, making it harder to breathe freely while sleeping. Fortunately, there are effective solutions. In this blog, we explain how being overweight contributes to snoring and what you can do about it.
Why Being Overweight Causes Snoring
Excess weight leads to fat deposits around the neck and throat, which can narrow the airway. This restricts airflow and causes vibrations in the soft tissues of the throat, leading to snoring. In addition, excess weight can reduce muscle tone in the throat, making it easier to block the airway during sleep.
How to Reduce Snoring When Overweight
There are several ways to reduce snoring, especially when excess weight plays a role:
- Weight Loss : Losing weight can reduce the amount of fatty tissue around the neck, which reduces the obstruction of the airway. This can lead to a reduction or even elimination of snoring. Read more about weight loss
- Adjusting your sleeping position : Sleeping on your side instead of your back can help keep your airways open and reduce snoring. Tips for a better sleeping position
- Use of Snoring Devices : Snoring devices, also called mandibular advancement devices (MADs), hold the lower jaw forward, keeping the airway open during sleep. Studies have shown that MADs are effective in reducing snoring. More about snoring devices
- Lifestyle changes : Avoiding alcohol and sedatives before bed, quitting smoking, and treating allergies can also help reduce snoring. Lifestyle changes for a better night's sleep
