VIdeo Explaning snoring
impact of snoring on oxygen levels
Our throat muscles relax during sleep causing the back of the tongue to fall gently into the airways.
Snoring is the sound created by the vibration of the tongue each time air is inhaled and exhaled during sleep!
Blocked airways result in less oxygen inhaled per breath!
Therefore, Snoring results in oxygen levels to drop in sleep
impact of snoring recovery
As can be seen from the above graph, snoring significantly impacts one’s nightly recovery, and hence should not be ignored!
Snoring Index: # of times per hour your Oxygen Level Drops due to Snoring!
Above 20 events/hour (once every 3 mins), one’s recovery fall’s below the ideal 90% level.
At 60 events/hour (once every min), one’s recovery is about 60%!

impact of low oxygen during sleep on health
Poor Recovery as a consequence of periodic oxygen level drops impacts all organs of the body, hence should not be neglected!
