So Who Snores?

Studies show that snoring becomes more prevalent after the age of 30. As many as 59 percent of adults admit to it and until the point when a woman reaches menopause, her male counterparts are twice as likely as she is to start snoring. Hence, if you are in your golden years, it will be advisable to stop snoring to reduce the risk of deadly consequences such as sleep apnea.

Snoring is a fairly common affliction, affecting 40 percent of men and 25 percent of women. Older people are particularly prone to snoring: About one-third of people ages 55 to 84 snores. Snoring could be an underlying symptom of something more malicious, like sleep apnea. Hence, you cannot dismiss this as another laughable problem – something which many people do.

Apnea sufferers are often diagnosed as depressed.  The truth is that they are simply exhausted and mistake it for symptoms of depression. Sleep apnea raises your blood pressure, reduces the flow of oxygen to your brain and has been shown to cause the narrowing of arteries.

5 percent of children (including toddlers) snore habitually as well. If your child snores, ask your pediatrician about it. Children, too, can have obstructive sleep apnea, though most don’t. In children, obstructive sleep apnea may increase the risk of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Brain development during those crucial years is also slowed due to a reduced oxygen supply to the brain. Nose and throat problems, such as enlarged tonsils, and obesity often underlie habitual snoring in children. Treating these conditions could help your child sleep better and ultimately, develop more holistically as they spend large amounts of time asleep.

Snoring affects both young and old. Research has clearly shown the consequences of ignoring this serious problem and the detrimental effects it can have on our well-being. Since we spend 1/3 of our lives sleeping, wouldn’t you and your loved ones like to improve your sleep quality?
