Snoring occurs due to the vibration of tissues in the throat when breathing through a narrowed upper airway. The throat or pharynx is a muscular tube that relaxes when you sleep, thereby decreasing in size.
Snoring affects up to 60% of men and 40% of women over the age of 30.
A small minority of snorers suffer from obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). In this condition, there are frequent episodes of severe or complete obstruction of the pharyngeal airway during sleep. This causes sleep disruption, excessive daytime tiredness, and may cause various cardiac and respiratory problems.
If you feel excessively tired during the day, wake up with choking episodes, or your apnoeas, you may have obstructive sleep apnoea.
