The causes of snoring and natural solutions to remedy it

Snoring is a phenomenon that is as common as it is annoying.
It affects nearly a third of the adult population and can impair sleep quality, cause chronic fatigue and even disrupt relationships.
But before looking for solutions, it is essential to understand why we snore.

Fortunately, there are now natural, simple and effective solutionsto regain peaceful nights without noise - and without noisy machines.

1. Why do we snore? The most common causes

Snoring occurs when air has difficulty flowing through the airways during sleep.
This obstruction causes the tissues of the palate, tongue or throat to vibrate, hence the characteristic sound of snoring.

The most frequent causes are:

• The relaxation of the throat musclesduring deep sleep
• The supine position, which encourages the tongue to tilt backwards
• Poor sleeping posture, linked to a pillow that is too flat or unsuitable
• Being overweightincreases pressure on the airways.
• Stress, fatigue, or alcohol consumptionbefore bedtime
• A temporary nasal obstruction, due to a cold or allergies

These combined factors can transform a simple noise into a real sleep problem.

2. The health consequences of snoring

Snoring is not always benign.
If it becomes frequent or is accompanied by pauses in breathing (sleep apnea), it can:

• reduce the quality of deep sleep
• cause morning migraines
• lead to chronic fatigue
• and increase cardiovascular risk.

But even when it is light, snoring interferes with the body's recoveryand the serenity of the night.

3. Natural solutions to stop snoring

Before considering medical devices, some natural solutionscan make a real difference.
