Why do we snore? There are so many causes of snoring that there is not enough time to talk all about them.


Maybe to analyze some of the most essential ones and yet some that are not that well known. This could or it could not apply to you, yet it may be helpful because you might know someone that is snoring because of one of these things. He might not know it, but you will and you can do something about it. There so many things that can make us snore that you wouldn’t believe. The 3 most know snoring causes and answers to your why do we snore question are:

- because you are smoking and smoking is “good” for your health
- because you are an alcohol drinker (you drink more than 2 glasses per day)
- because you drink coffee a lot (more than 1 cup per day)

These are the most common causes, yet we won’t talk about these. You can find a lot of information on these factors on this site if you want, but today we will talk about another set of 3 factors that are not that well known. They do as much damage as the other ones, maybe even more. So, here are our stars:

- extra weight
- sleeping pills
- medication

Why do we snore? -> Extra weight

A lot of people are desperately trying to lose weight mainly because they want to look good. They do not want to be fat and ugly. And because we are on this subject, what do you think: do fat people snore? While you think about it, here what the extra weight can do to you. As little as 5% of extra fat deposited on your body can turn you from a good sleeper to a snorer that is disturbing everybody. So, what is the solution to this? Start loosing those extra pounds. Like I said, even a 5% reduction of fat can end your snoring.

Why do people snore? – Sleeping pills

They sure can come in handy when you can’t sleep. Well, you know what? If you don’t feel sleepy, maybe you should not sleep at all. You don’t need any sleeping pills. What you need is to do something that gets you tired and you start feeling sleepy. Don’t know what to do? You can come and clean my yard. That will make you sleepy :) Sleeping pills are going to make you snore. It does not matter what they say on the box. You will snore.

Why do we snore? –> Other medication

Because we take too much medication. Some medication can make us snore. You won’t hear that at TV. You can ask your doctor when he gives you this or that medication if it will make you snore. He probably won’t know or won’t tell you the truth, but give it a try anyway. Maybe he will be human and tell you that snoring is often a side effect of the medication you are supposed to take.
