National Stop Snoring Week: 25-29 April

Did you know that 25-29 April is National Stop Snoring Week? Created by the British Snoring and Sleep Apnoea Association, the week is designed to raise awareness of the many effects that snoring can have on so many people.Snoring occurs when the tongue drops to the back of the throat reducing the size of the airway; this can happen due to a variety of different factors, such as overeating, alcohol consumption and allergies. If you are suffering from severe snoring, it can lead to disturbed sleep, which can have a disastrous effect on your day-to-day life. Not getting enough sleep not only affects things like your daily routine in the short term, it can also impact on things like memory and overall health, leaving you feeling very run down, lethargic and more prone to picking up bugs and viruses
