Children Snoring Issues

This is good information about Children Snoring Issues:

KK Women's and Children's Hospital - Childhood Illnesses - Snoring: "Researchers have found that 20% of normal children snore occasionally and 7-10% have habitual snoring. In many cases, children who snore are perfectly healthy. About 1% of children snore because they suffer from sleep and breathing problems. The risk is higher if they have a known predisposing factor e.g. large tonsils and adenoids, obesity, nerve and muscle problems, abnormality in the jaw and face area or a family history of sleep and breathing problems. You should be aware of your child's sleep and snoring patterns and visit a sleep specialist if you suspect something out of the ordinary.

Children who struggle to breathe while snoring may be suffering from Obstructive Sleep Apnea Hypoventilation Syndrome (OSAHS). These children may snort or gasp as they snore, and may appear to 'suck in the chest'. OSAHS is described as breathing that starts and stops during sleep. The stoppage is usually caused when the throat narrows or even closes during sleep."

Relationship Issues Associated With Snoring

Snoring can really be a pain to a relationship.

For the one who snores, they're usually unaware of this but for a partner who's sleeping next to a snorer. It can be a constant, day to day problem sleeping next to a snorer.

The effects to the relationship is unmeasurable. Most of the time, the partner tries to tolerate or even buy ear plugs but what I see is that the accumulation of such trapped frustrations feeds the frustration even further.

When a partner pushes a snorer's face or squeezes his/her nose, these gestures create some kind of emotional stigma too.

Bottom line here is.... Snoring is not a trivial issue. The sounds are not going to go away.... ever! Unless it is treated. So please couples, talk about it and start seeking help. You'll appreciate each other more in the process.

What is Obstructive Sleep Apnea?

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a serious, potentially life-threatening condition that is far more common than realised by people. Apnoea is a condition where breathing stops for 10 seconds or more.

Prevalence studies done in Singapore have estimated OSA to affect 15 per cent of the people. Being a common disease, OSA poses a major public health problem. Men are 2.0 to 3.7 times as likely as women to suffer from OSA."

Hope this sheds some light about Sleep Apnea.

I've got a fr.ee report on my website that packs some great awareness shifts about snoring and its health hazards. Please click on "7 Signs To Identify If Your Snoring Issue Is Causing Major Health Hazards".

What is Snoring? How is it related to Obstructive Sleep Apnea?

Snoring, which may cause both psychological and social strain to one’s other family members, is one of the symptoms of OSA.

Snoring is the harsh sound produced when the soft palate, uvula, throat tissues or even the tongue vibrates during inhalation at sleep. As we fall asleep, the soft tissues at the back of the throat and the tongue muscle relax, causing the airway to narrow. When air passes through a narrower airway, it moves faster and causes the muscles to vibrate against each other. This creates a rattling or snoring sound. Snoring becomes louder if the airway passage continues to narrow and pressure increases.

Snoring is estimated to affect 40.3 per cent of the local population regularly, with more men (47.7 per cent) affected than women (33.6 per cent). The prevalence of snoring increases with age up to 55 years old."

Welcome To Stop Snoring Secrets Revealed Blog

Hi There,

Welcome to my blog about Snoring and its related issues. Namely How to Stop Snoring.

Need to to say, since I'm creating such a blog, it comes as no big surprise that I snore!
My name is Andrew Tan and I'm on a mission. A mission to cure or fix my own snoring problem and eventually stop snoring altogether.

Since I was teenager, I've been suffering from snoring and 4 years ago, I even got diagnosed with Sleep Apnea. With that piece of Shocking News, I started my journey of rectifying my snoring problem.

I searched high and low on the internet for the solutions to my snoring and sleep problem, tried many sleeping aids such as corticosteriod nasal sprays, nasal strips, nose clips, nasal inserts, mouth pieces CPAP machine etc... Some were fairly cheap while other just simply 'cost a bomb'. There was one particular one that even caused other health complications and further sleep disruptions.

I've spend literally over $10,000 researching, experimenting and testing all the different sleeping aids out there... short of a clinical surgery.

Since then, I've helped thousands of people just like you and me to find that perfect "snore arrest" solution by helping them understand the type of snoring that they have, their causes and effects and the possible solution that they can take, without spending the amount of money I've spent!

Through this journey, I'll be exploring the various ways to stop snoring.

Come to my website and learn about the different tips on how to stop snoring.

Warmest Regards,

Andrew Tan
