Everyone snores. Every single human being on the planet. Debby included.

Snoring is caused by:

  • Blocking the windpipe by sleeping in an unusual position.
  • Narrowing of the airway caused by poor sleep posture.
  • Blocked nasal passages, especially when the sleeper is prone to hay fever or has a cold/flu.
  • Having small nasal passages, common in women.
  • Sleeping on your back, causing your tongue to cover the airway and make a noise when you breathe.
  • Throat infections or abnormalities of the throat tissues.
  • Damage to the throat tissues caused by smoking.
  • A side effect of many sleeping pills.
