Imagine this…you’re asleep, in deep oh-so-glorious sleep, you’re having the best dream, you’ve never slept this good – and BAM… you’re awakened by what sounds like a chainsaw next to your head. What in the…. Oh, that’s just my spouse SNORING LIKE A FREIGHT TRAIN!
You’ve talked to doctors, professionals, and still the snoring is driving you insane. You can’t sleep and you can’t imagine that your spouse is getting restful sleep either.
Have you ever wondered, Why on earth does my spouse snore – and SO loudly?
Maybe you’re one of the lucky ones and you’ve never experienced being awakened to the sound of a vacuum in your bed- a tornado ripping through your bedroom (*ahem* your spouse snoring) but for those of us that have, it’s an experience in and of itself (and not the kind you want). Let’s stop this curse and put an end to the madness. There is help!
Snoring is often caused due to a small or obstructed airway. It can even be tied to obstructive sleep apnea. However, there is hope, even in adulthood. If you or your partner/spouse snore, a myofunctional therapy evaluation is in order! Myofunctional therapy can target muscles, breathing, and identify if other referrals may be helpful. Many studies show that snoring can be greatly reduced, one study showed a 50% improvement!
Now I might not be able to remedy your relationship with your spouse, but I am confident this easy means of addressing your spouses orofacial muscles and airway will ensure they (and you most importantly) have much more restful sleep in the future. Be sure to check out our directory for a myofunctional therapist in your area! Here’s to many nights of NO snoring in your future.
