Studies have shown that the louder you snore, the more likely you have a medical problem. One condition associated with snoring is obstructive sleep apnoea, which has potential complications like hypertension, heart attack, stroke and early dementia.
Obesity is the leading cause of snoring. Other culprits include advancing age, anatomical problems such as having a small jaw, drinking sedatives. Sleeping on the back is also a frequent aggravating factor.
How can you quiet your snoring? Lose weight if you are obese, avoid alcohol before bed, quit smoking, don’t take sleeping pills and treat allergies at bedtime.
