What Is Snoring Caused By
REM sleep or Dreaming sleep is something which is associated with snoring. Why snoring takes place is an interesting subject and a lot of research has been done on this. We will be discussing snoring in this article.
To get an idea as to why snoring happens we must know what happens when we are awake. Our day activity causes us emotional strain and tiredness which gets stored in our body muscles.
Just try and think what you do when you are angry. Don't you close your fists even though you don't intend to hit anyone. This is nothing but a part of our unconscious body language which we have no control over.
It's estimated, the tone of our voice and our facial expression counts for at least 80% of our total communication. The words we use count for less than 20%.
Sometimes, we don't want to show how we really feel. We try to consciously control our voice and facial expression. This is the poker face, the stone face or the superficial nice face, we sometimes have to put on. A customer service representative can't scream at their clients, even if he/she is raging inside.
There are many effects on our body while we sleep, like whenever we freeze our feelings, they get stored in the body muscles. This in turn primarily effects the muscles around our breathing passage.
When we fall asleep, this muscle tension blocks the breathing passages. That's what causes early night snoring. As our sleep deepens, these muscles relax a little and the snoring often stops for awhile.
When we are in light sleep, it is called as REM sleep. This is the segment where dreaming occurs. When we are in the REM sleep, we amalgamate all the informations and experiences we had the previous day. Our subliminal takes all the sentiments that are stored in the body muscles. Just think what would be happening to the muscles while this is going through.
Its very sad to say that during the REM sleep tension doesn't get liberated from our muscles. The assessment taken by our subconscious is that these muscles require to be kept anxious to freeze any sentiments the next day. This will make snoring more problematic and harder to tackle.
It is necessary for us to know that while we are in the REM sleep, the emotional process activates our muscles. This results in blocking of our breathing passage and this causes snoring. We hooked into REM sleep 2-3 times a night. This results in early morning and late night snoring.
So whats the elucidation? Almost there are two ways to eradicate the primary cause for snoring.
1) The more sober and non reactive you're, the less emotional stress is stored in your muscles. A happy, joyful attitude, in every situation, is the key to your well being. Indulging in a resentment is like eating a poison and thinking it will kill your enemy. Expressing your feelings and reality moderately, releases and integrates the experience immediately, so your subconscious doesn't have to do it during the night.
2) When we are exercising with tongue, throat and jaws then it helps in releasing the tension from our muscles. Many of us have been creating muscle tensions for years so now it is required to excavate down and untie up these muscles. This exercise will help in stopping of the early night snoring as well as the REM sleep snoring.
Use of both the tactics would do wonders.
Its obvious that the current methods used in dealing with snoring target only the most apparent symptoms. Even if the symptoms get disappeared for a while, the other original and essential cause gradually worsens. This makes the snoring reappear much louder. Snoring can be cured permanently by treating the actual underlying causes.
