IIt seems that at the school school it was once said that from the sexist stereotypes once it was said, therefore, it may be surprising that women really do -in general -snoring less than men. Ryan Chin Taeu Jong, a consultant on the ear, nose and throat and sleep surgeon at the University College of London, says that men are almost twice as often as women will dump. “But this gap narrows with two specific moments in the life of women,” he says. “One of them after menopause, as a rule, between 45 and 55 years. The second is pregnancy, especially in the third trimester. ”
A snoring occurs when the air flow is partially blocked through the upper respiratory tract, causing vibration in the back of the nose, soft sky, throat, tongue or epiglottis (“lid” over wind labor). This is because the respiratory tract muscles relax while we sleep, and they are pulled by gravity when we lie in bed. Other factors can make us more likely to store. Alcohol relaxes the muscles further. Additional body weight is pressure on the throat. Allergies, nasal polyps, rejected partition or just heavy cold can block the respiratory tract.

According to Jung, female hormones, such as estrogen and progesterone, are in the visible, support the muscles of the respiratory tract. “That's why women tend to catch up with men when levels change during menopause and pregnancy.” Added weight during pregnancy, connects the problem.
It is interesting that, according to him, when women are stored, they are less likely to report this, “because it is more stigmatized.”
Jong says that the change in snoring patterns should not be ignored, as this can be a symptom of the medical problem. “It can be an apnea indicator in a dream – a serious disease when breathing repeatedly stops at night.”
Regardless of your gender, Jong says that if your snoring is loud enough, it regularly violates your partner’s sleep, you should see a doctor.
