Some levels of snoring can reach over 100db,&nbsp;which is similar in sound to that of a motorbike or drill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sleep deprivation from snoring can leave you&nbsp;feeling tired and sleepy during the day,&nbsp;suffering from&nbsp;a lack of concentration,&nbsp;as well as&nbsp;being bad tempered and generally irritable.&nbsp;It can also&nbsp;have an impact on&nbsp;your&nbsp;general heath and the function of systems and organs in the body. Even if&nbsp;you&nbsp;manage to sleep an adequate number of hours, the quality of sleep can be poor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many partners put up with snoring, however many get to the point where they end up sleeping in a separate room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A more serious&nbsp;snoring-related&nbsp;condition&nbsp;is Obstructive Sleep&nbsp;Apnoea (OSA). This is where&nbsp;the snorer stops&nbsp;breathing&nbsp;for a period of time and is a much more serious condition. If&nbsp;you suspect this is happening,&nbsp;seek&nbsp;the advice of a doctor or dentist&nbsp;immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There can be many causes of snoring<s>,<\/s>&nbsp;which, when&nbsp;known,&nbsp;make&nbsp;it easier to treat. Some are based on lifestyle. For example, obesity, smoking and alcohol all significantly increase the chance of snoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are various solutions to try and help stop snoring,&nbsp;from improving&nbsp;lifestyle to surgical treatments. At Brightside Dental, we&nbsp;custom make anti-snoring devices&nbsp;which consistently have great results.
