PART VI: WHEN TO SEE A DOCTOR

Loud snoring can be a sign of obstructive sleep apnea, a serious condition in which the Snorer stops breathing many times a night. Left untreated, it can lead to heart damage, stroke, and even death.

If a Snorer is frequently very sleepy during the day, stops breathing during sleep, or snorts awake, gasping for breath, then it's time to see an Otolaryngologist. And even if you don't have symptoms of apnea, this doc can ease snoring if other remedies have failed.

THE MASK. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is the standard treatment for sleep apnea and severe snoring. A facemask delivers air pressure into the throat. The machine is effective but can be cumbersome.

CHOPPER CHECKERS. A plastic dental splint fits into the mouth over the teeth. It moves the lower jaw forward and enhances nose breathing.

STIFF UPPER MOUTH. The most common types of surgery for snoring, in which tissue is cut away from the throat and palate, are very painful and frequently not very effective. But newer procedures called palatal stiffening -- shoring up the soft palate to prevent it from vibrating -- can work well.

The newest and possibly most effective kind is called a pillar palatal implant, in which a surgeon inserts a few 1"long polyester cords into the soft palate to promote scarring and stiffening. A reduction in snoring usually takes a month. In surveys, as many as nine in ten patients were satisfied with the procedure. (End)

PART V:

Store shelves are laden with snoring remedies but, unfortunatel, few have been proven to work. Here are three that might help:

1) SCHNOZ STRIPS. Nasal spreaders that stick to the outside of the nose can reduce or eliminate snoring by lifting open the nasal passages, so the Snorer does not breathe through the mouth.

2) MIST OPPORTUNITY. Throat sprays lubricate the throat and, in theory, can reduced vibrations during sleep.

3) FLUFF STUFF. Snoring pillows are meant to support the head in a position that reduces snoring; the type shaped to promote sleeping on your side (one brand is Sona) has shown some succes.

(NOTE: This is me, Sugarlump, but -- 'SAVE MONEY' while you THINK about those elevated beds on TV. Use the ELEVATION idea you may have seen earlier in the Series by placing book, or bricks, under each headboard leg.)

PART IV: WHAT IS ALL THE NOISE ABOUT

During sleep, the muscles in the throat relax. The tongue falls backward, and the airway in the throat becomes narrower. If the airway is partially blocked by something, the flow of air causes the tissues in the throat and soft palate to vibrate, which creates the sound of snoring.

What can increase blockage is extra body weight, particularly a thickening of the neck. Alcohol or sedating drugs before bed (and other possible culprits) can relax the throat and palate muscles. Allergies and sinus infection can cause nasal congestion, and the extra effort needed to pull air through the nose can cause the palate to vibrate.

Aging is also a factor: Muscle tone throughout the body decreases with age, and that includes the muscles in the palate, throat, and tongue.
