What are the risk factors of snoring?

Snoring usually becomes more serious with age. It can lead to fragmented and un-refreshing sleep which translates into poor daytime function (tiredness and sleepiness). There are several factors which facilitate snoring such as:

 

1. The natural aging process leads to the relaxation of the throat muscles

2. Anatomical abnormalities of the nose and throat

3. Sleep position

4. Alcohol

5. Muscle relaxants pills

6. Obesity.
