This is a question many people, whether they themselves or their roommates, experience with snoring. This is especially noticeable in couples or families sharing a room, where snoring patterns differ significantly. What causes snoring? Snoring has many different causes depending on the individual. Ultimately, severe snoring can lead to serious and dangerous problems, including obstructive sleep apnea. (Read more: What causes snoring? Will everyone who snore develop obstructive sleep apnea?) The development of obstructive sleep apnea depends on the severity of snoring in both men and women. It involves the muscles in the throat relaxing more, narrowing the already constricted airway until it completely shuts off, preventing air from entering. This is dangerous. In summary, whether men or women snore more depends on individual factors and behaviors. General surveys show that men snore more than women due to the various causes mentioned earlier. This is especially true for men aged 30 and older, as the muscles in the neck around the trachea begin to relax. When these muscles relax, the trachea collapses, blocking airflow. This results in insufficient oxygen reaching the brain, causing the brain to signal the man to wake up during the night, leading to a recurrence of snoring and sleep apnea, ultimately resulting in insufficient sleep.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":23967,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1351],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-192647","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-snoring"],"taxonomy_info":{"category":[{"value":1351,"label":"\u0e19\u0e2d\u0e19\u0e01\u0e23\u0e19\u0e41\u0e25\u0e30\u0e20\u0e32\u0e27\u0e30\u0e2b\u0e22\u0e38\u0e14\u0e2b\u0e32\u0e22\u0e43\u0e08\u0e02\u0e13\u0e30\u0e2b\u0e25\u0e31\u0e1a (Sleep Apnea)"}]},"featured_image_src_large":["https:\/\/www.nksleepcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/man-woman-snoring-more.jpg",1200,628,false],"author_info":{"display_name":"\u0e19\u0e1e.\u0e27\u0e23\u0e27\u0e31\u0e12\u0e19\u0e4c \u0e2a\u0e38\u0e27\u0e23\u0e23\u0e13\u0e23\u0e31\u0e01\u0e29\u0e4c","author_link":"https:\/\/www.nksleepcare.com\/en\/author\/dr-worawat-suwannaruxa\/"},"comment_info":0,"category_info":[{"term_id":1351,"name":"\u0e19\u0e2d\u0e19\u0e01\u0e23\u0e19\u0e41\u0e25\u0e30\u0e20\u0e32\u0e27\u0e30\u0e2b\u0e22\u0e38\u0e14\u0e2b\u0e32\u0e22\u0e43\u0e08\u0e02\u0e13\u0e30\u0e2b\u0e25\u0e31\u0e1a (Sleep Apnea)","slug":"snoring","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":1351,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":21,"filter":"raw","cat_ID":1351,"category_count":21,"category_description":"","cat_name":"\u0e19\u0e2d\u0e19\u0e01\u0e23\u0e19\u0e41\u0e25\u0e30\u0e20\u0e32\u0e27\u0e30\u0e2b\u0e22\u0e38\u0e14\u0e2b\u0e32\u0e22\u0e43\u0e08\u0e02\u0e13\u0e30\u0e2b\u0e25\u0e31\u0e1a (Sleep Apnea)","category_nicename":"snoring","category_parent":0}],"tag_info":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nksleepcare.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192647","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nksleepcare.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nksleepcare.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nksleepcare.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nksleepcare.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=192647"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.nksleepcare.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192647\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":193183,"href":"https:\/\/www.nksleepcare.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192647\/revisions\/193183"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nksleepcare.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23967"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nksleepcare.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=192647"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nksleepcare.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=192647"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nksleepcare.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=192647"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
