About snoring

Snoring is a common issue in British households. Often, it’s nothing to worry about, but if you snore on a regular basis or make very loud noise when you snore, this can have a major bearing on your quality of sleep, as well as that of others around you.

Common risk factors for snoring include being overweight, drinking alcohol, allergies and smoking. If you snore occasionally, this is often down to your sleeping position or an illness such as a cough or cold, which may affect your breathing when you sleep.

In many cases, making changes to your lifestyle, such as doing more exercise and losing weight, can stop snoring, but if you snore persistently, this can be indicative of sleep apnoea and a sign that your body is struggling to get enough oxygen while you are sleeping.

What is sleep apnoea and how can we help?

Sleep apnoea is a potentially serious sleeping disorder, which occurs when breathing is disrupted when you are asleep. In severe cases, breathing apparatus is used to provide oxygen flow while you sleep. In mild cases, lifestyle changes may be recommended.
