Sleeping With A Chainsaw
As men we are constantly bothered by complaints of snoring, but we know that women are just as guilty of the sin of snoring. What can you do? In this MSN.com article it discusses some snoring remedies and causes. Here is a short excerpt:
“Most of us snore only from time to time. But a quarter of the population snores regularly. In fact, a common complaint from these chronic snorers is a dry and irritated throat upon awakening. Factors that increase the risk for snoring include:
- Taking medications such as sleeping pills, muscle relaxants or sedating antihistamines.
- Drinking alcohol at or near bedtime.
- Smoking.
- Sleeping on your back.
- Being overweight or, if you’re a man, having a neck circumference of greater than 16.5 inches.
- Suffering from nasal congestion, which often leads to more mouth breathing, more tissue vibration and more snoring.
- Growing older, which may cause a decrease in the muscle tone of the upper throat.
- Being male; men tend to have narrower air passages.”
