All About Snoring (and How to Make It Stop) | Parachute Blog
Pillows were designed for better sleep, not for drowning out the sound of your partner’s snoring. Defined simply as ‘noisy breathing during sleep,’ snoring can be disruptive to the snorer and especially to his or her bed-partner. To assist in optimal nightly rest, we asked our resident sleep therapist and researcher, Dr. Angela Lachowski, Ph.D., C. Psych (Supervised Practice), for specifics on what causes snoring – and how to silence it.
If the answer to any of these questions is yes, it's a good idea to visit your doctor to discuss a referral for an overnight sleep study. These are not the most fun, but they are the best way for sleep specialists to assess exactly how obstructed your airway is during the night. This information is important — some people stop breathing over 100 times an hour (and don't know it!).
Snoring can be an inconvenience, but there is no reason that it should interfere with a proper night's sleep. Sweet dreams!
