Finding Help To Stop Snoring

Picture
While some people have been able to adjust their sleeping habits in order to find simple ways to alleviate their snoring, other people have tried device after device and life style change after lifestyle change with no end in sight and no results.  Their only choice has been to look for professional help to help them stop snoring.  But, where can one find the kind of help that is needed to stop snoring?

The first step to finding help to stop snoring is to visit your normal health care provider or dentist.  Reasons why people snore come from a myriad of different problems.  You might have a guess as to what your specific problem is but there would be no way of actually proving that you are right and treating yourself in the right way.  By visiting your doctor or your dentist, they can examine your mouth throat and nose and give you a better explanation of why you are snoring.  Once you have a definite reason for your snoring problem, pining down a treatment just got easier.  Your doctor or dentist will be able to suggest the right snoring treatments for you.

But, sometimes snoring is part of a larger sleep disorder or physical health problem.  One of the treatments that your doctor may suggest is going to a sleep lab to determine why you are snoring.   A sleep laboratory conducts sleep studies to find out what happens to your body while you are sleeping.  The studies will reveal the source of your sleep problems and why you snoring.  The lab looks for several things in a n individual.  Is this person snoring due to sleep apnea?  When someone had sleep apnea they actually stop breathing from anywhere between 10 and 90 seconds and catch their breath with a loud snort or snore.  It is narrow airways or brain signals regulating breathing that causes sleep apnea.  Obviously this is a very dangerous condition that should be monitored closely.  Sleep labs will also look to see if someone is suffering from insomnia.  Insomnia is the label given to the problem of one going to sleep or remaining asleep through the night.  This might be due to depression, discomfort, hunger or even stress.  Narcolepsy is the opposite of insomnia in which the person has problems staying awake.  The person might unexpectedly fall asleep.  Sleep labs will also look for problems such as bed wetting, sleepwalking or night terrors.  Another thing that the lab can diagnose is if the person is suffering from snoring problems due to rotating shifts at work.  Many jobs have their workers rotate between day time shifts and night time shifts that will disrupt their normal sleeping pattern.  This leads to a disorder known as shrift work sleep disorder.  Plus, the sleep lab looks for sleeping problems that are related to repeated muscle twitching of your legs, arms or your feet while you are sleeping.  This condition is known as periodic limb movement disorder.  These twitches might be interrupting the person’s normal sleep cycle making getting a full and restful night sleep impossible which may be leading to the person’s snoring problems.
