"Crying out loud, it's 3am and here I am in the den trying to sleep on the couch because of the snoring going on in the bedroom. This is not fair, I'm the one that has to get up and go to work in a few hours and I can't get any sleep because of that darned snoring------I can't take it anymore!" How many times have you thought that, or said that because your sleep was interrupted for the millionth time by your partner's snoring. There are thousands of us all saying the same thing in one way or another, and the best thing to do in these circumstances, is to invest in some anti snoring pillows.
Snoring is a result of the airway to the lungs from the outside air being blocked so the body is in a battle to get more air in to meet it's needs, and this increased pulling of air over the folds of flesh in the throat is what causes snoring. The main culprit is the positioning of the head and neck; if the neck and head are in a bad position and are not aligned properly, then the chin is pressed down against the chest and the airway is obstructed making it necessary for the body to pull hard to get any air. Anti snoring pillows are designed for just such a scenario, and when placed under the head properly, will raise the head to the correct level and the breathing becomes unhindered and the snoring stops.
The causes of snoring are many: bad posture while sleeping, eating too much before bed causing a deep heavy sleep; drinking alcohol before bed which will do the same thing; sleeping on your back instead of your side; obesity is another factor----too much flesh in the facial area can act as an air flap and actually flap from side to side as the air is drawn in and out.
There are all kinds of anti snoring pillows on the market for those looking for relief from snoring, and one other little niche in this area is the magnetic pillow. Not only is is designed to elevate your head and reposition your neck so your airway is aligned correctly; they also have magnetic properties that are supposed to provide healing through magnetism whenever the pillow is used.
One of the major factors in intense snoring in our obese world today, is sleep apnea. This is a problem with folks who usually have too much facial fat and folds of skin around the head and neck, and when the head is resting on a regular pillow so it is out of alignment, the person drops into a deep sleep which soon progresses into snoring because the folds of skin drop back against the back of the throat, and the air moving in the air ducts resonates in those flesh folds and causes the intense snoring. What happens in sleep apnea is that the snorer builds to a crescendo, then stops breathing for a period of time, and then as if he were coming up out of a swimming pool where he had been underwater for some time; he gasps for air, the heart jump starts and beats rapidly and then he proceeds to breathe again. Sleep apnea in its extreme forms can prevent you from getting a full night's sleep, and can be fatal. In lesser cases, anti snoring pillows could help solve the problem.
The position of your body while you are sleeping is most important, because when you think about it, if you are lying on your back as you sleep----what happens. The folds in your throat fall backward against the back of your throat and airway, and the airway is blocked----so you really have to struggle to get air passing through that duct. As a result you snore because the folds act as flaps and move back and forth with the passing air creating sometimes a deafening racket. It's amazing how much noise a snorer can make. For general good sleeping practices, sleeping on your side is the winner. Your body as a whole can be aligned better on the mattress, and one of the anti snoring pillows can be under your head and neck lifting them up and repositioning them so your airway is open and you can breathe freely without obstruction. As a result, your sleeping is much more peaceful and therapeutic.
To snore is not a good thing to be happening to your body; you are taxing your heart with the uneven breathing going on, and possibly progressing into sleep apnea. Plus, you are not getting the deep sleep you need for restoration of your bodily functions (the recharging that sleep was designed for in the first place). Anti snoring pillows can be just what the doctor ordered, literally and figuratively; and can be the answer to all your snoring problems or those of your partner.
