The main snoring cause is due to the partial closure of the airway during sleep. During sleep muscles in the neck relax and for some people the soft tissue in the upper throat vibrates, which makes the sound we know as snoring.

Studies have shown that the lack of sleep caused by snoring has wide reaching effects such as:

  • Daytime sleepiness
  • A lack of energy
  • Poor motivation
  • Accidents related to driving while tired
  • Higher stress levels due to fatigue
  • Less effectiveness at work effecting remuneration and career progression
