STOP SNORING

What Causes Snoring & Sleep Apnoea?

Snoring occurs when airflow is partially blocked during sleep, causing vibrations in the throat. In more severe cases, this blockage can lead to obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), where breathing repeatedly stops and starts throughout the night.

Common causes include:
✔ Relaxed throat muscles blocking airflow
✔ Obesity or excess soft tissue around the airway
✔ Nasal congestion or allergies
✔ Sleeping position (back sleeping increases snoring)

If untreated, sleep apnoea can increase the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, and daytime fatigue—impacting your overall quality of life.
