It is unfortunate on the part of snoring treatment programs and program providers that they don’t highlight some important things that a patient must know. For example, you may not be told about the time frame within which snoring usually occurs. The main underlying causes and some effective treatments for snoring too are unknown to many people suffering from this condition. Let us learn about all these things one by one.
Early night snoring is most common among the people. Besides, people often snore during REM sleep, which is commonly referred to as ‘dream sleep’. This is the time when people dream, mainly about the happenings during the day. An individual might go into the dream sleep twice or thrice a night, and each period is long in duration. Also, REM sleep occurs during early morning hours. As such, people mainly snore between early night and early morning.
What Leads to Snoring?
The physical and emotional tension built up inside the body’s muscles throughout the day leads to snoring. People indulge in physical work and experience many emotions during the course of the day. The tiredness caused by such activities gets stored inside the muscles of the body.
Getting angry and showing resentment are some behavioral traits that contribute towards the tension stored inside the muscles. Our attempts to hide our feelings and emotions too make the muscles tense. Locking our feelings is just not a mental activity, but it also requires the muscles to act profoundly.
The results of all such activities affect the muscle groups throughout the body, especially those present in the breathing passage. And when our body tries to relax while sleeping, the tension stored inside the breathing passage muscles gets blocked. This results in early night snoring.
However, these muscles relax after some time, and snoring stops. When we enter the REM sleeping stage, the subconscious part of the brain starts processing the emotions stored inside the muscles. This not only results in dreaming, but contributes towards REM time snoring as well. The situation worsens when the tension stored in the muscles is not released, but rather preserved to lock the emotions for the next day.
Effective Solutions
The most common solution to prevent snoring is to take less emotional stress during the day. Be happy and avoid resentment at any cost. Don’t hide your emotions and feelings; instead, express them to prevent the storing of tension inside the muscles. Do some throat and jaw exercises to relax your muscles, as this helps them release tension before you fall asleep.
Make use of the information above to prevent snoring as an obstacle to healthy sleeping.

Christian,
This is amazing that I am reading this! I had just come to the same conclusion myself! I wondered about this correlation because I sleep like a baby when I’m on vacation (I visit an adult daughter in another state). I even sleep on her couch in her small apartment! My bed at home is luxurious, but my husband and I run a building company from our home. The stress is constant because my home is where my work is and we deal with many people and temperaments. This past week has been so stressful that I started not allowing anyone no matter how urgent anything sounded, to ruffle my feathers. I purposely walked, talked, and remained calm even when everyone was yelling that the sky was falling! (By the way, it didn’t.) I slept and woke refreshed that night.
Along with the exercises, I am looking and breathing like Sleeping Beauty!
God bless you dear man!
