Factors Influencing Snoring in Men and Women

Research indicates that, in general, women are less likely to snore compared to men. Ear, nose, and throat consultant Ryan Chin Taw Cheong explains that men are almost twice as likely to snore. However, certain life stages for women, such as menopause (typically between ages 45 and 55) and pregnancy... [More info]

'Is it true that … women snore less than men?'

"men are almost twice as likely as women to snore. “But that gap narrows at two particular points in women’s lives,” he says. “One is after menopause, typically between 45 and 55. The second is pregnancy, especially in the third trimester"

"the muscles of the airway relax while we’re sleeping and are dragged down by gravity when we lie in bed
[…]
Alcohol relaxes the muscles further. Extra body weight puts pressure on the throat. Allergies, nasal polyps, a deviated septum or simply a heavy cold can all block the airway."

"Female hormones, such as oestrogen and progesterone, appear to keep the airway muscles more toned"

"if your snoring is loud enough that it regularly disrupts your partner’s sleep, it’s worth going to the doctor"

😴 Snoring isn’t always harmless.

Occasional snoring is normal. But if it’s:
🔹 Loud
🔹 Nightly
🔹 Paired with gasping or choking

…it could signal Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).

💡 The good news? A simple one-night Home Sleep Test can detect it early — from the comfort of your own bed.

A quotation from Terry Pratchett

A marriage is always made up of two people who are prepared to swear that only the other one snores.

Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) English author
Discworld No. 24, The Fifth Elephant (1999)

@eniko There are also cases where the problem *IS* known to medical science, *AND* the doctor is making a serious good-faith effort to diagnose it — but they can't, because the scientific knowledge hasn't yet propagated to common clinical practice.

Misdiagnosis of #autism as other mental-health conditions would fall in this category. Before my self-diagnosis of autism at age 67, less than a year ago, I had an extensive history with the mental health system, mostly for depression. None of the numerous psychologists and psychiatrists I saw ever considered autism as a diagnosis, even though I'm low-masking. One misdiagnosed me as #bipolar; I've since learned from other #autistics here on Mastodon that misdiagnosis of autism as bipolar disorder is almost a cliché, and that more generally, misdiagnosis of autism as other mental health conditions is very common indeed, especially for autistics who don't fit the stereotype of a white male toddler with a low IQ and high support needs.

But similar things happen in physical medicine. A quarter-century ago, I went to a physician to be evaluated for sleep #apnea, after my wife told me she had been awakened from sleep by my #snoring. The physician was openly skeptical; I have never been morbidly obese, and at the time the prevalence of sleep apnea was not fully understood in clinical practice. Also, just as with my autism, my ability to compensate and function well probably led the physician astray; he might have taken my inquiry more seriously if I had been obviously impaired. To his credit, he did refer me for polysomnography — and the results showed clear evidence of apnea. I am now a regular user of #CPAP, and my life has been better for it.

Has anyone here had Deviated Septum Surgery? What was your experience like? Did you regret it at any point?

I'm scheduled to go under the knife tomorrow. I should have probably asked this months ago.

So, is this a problem? I’m going to go get a sleep study done. Possibly a CPAP. It’ll be interesting to be an elephant every night. Very sexy, I’m told. But those who I have spoken to who have gotten one seem to say it changed their lives for the better and is totally worth it.

Thoughts?

Last night I got 3 hours and 34 min of sleep “sleep”. None of it “deep”. Longest stretch was about an hour. I’ve averaged about 5 hours and 20 min of sleep over the past week.
