What cause snoring and what causes Obstractive sleep apnea.


I wrote down some notes on a video on YouTube which is an interview of Jerald H. Simon, he is a Sleep Disorders Specialist. In this video he explains the cause of snoring and also obstructive sleep apnea about Sleep Apnea. They ask his some questions and he answers. He said that the people who have it they are not getting a good sleep at night, snoring is a big problem it is a Bunuel affect and because of that a vacuum is created. When the person snores the soft tissue vibration occurs and because of that sleep apnea occurs. Dr Simon said that Sleep apnea comes from snoring and when the twing folds in the throat to that person it creates sleep apnea. He said that they might sleep 8 hours a day but the true is that they feel that they slept for 3-4 hours only, because of this disorder it did not allowed them to sleep really well, it interacted their sleep.

For me its always nice to hear what a specialist have to say about this. He is a specialist and she/he knows the subject better.
