An estimated 45% of adults snore occasionally<\/u><\/a>, while a quarter of adults do so regularly, according to Johns Hopkins.<\/p>\n

This common issue can affect sleep quality and lead to frequent sleep disruptions \u2014 but in some cases, it can be a sign of a serious health issue.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital spoke with Dr. Shelby Harris, a New York-based<\/u><\/a> clinical psychologist and director of sleep health at Sleepopolis, who shared what to know about the topic.<\/p>\n

Here are key points.<\/p>\n

Snoring is the result of restricted airflow through the nose or throat, which leads to the vibration of tissues in the upper airway, according to Harris.<\/p>\n

“There are various factors that can lead to snoring, such as nasal congestion caused by allergies or a deviated septum, sleeping on your back, alcohol or smoking<\/u><\/a>, obesity, and an obstructed airway,” she said.<\/p>\n

While snoring can sometimes be harmless and may resolve on its own, it can also indicate a more serious condition, such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), the doctor warned.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Sleep apnea often goes undiagnosed, so if you are experiencing snoring or breathing difficulties while sleeping, it\u2019s important to get evaluated by a sleep specialist<\/u><\/a>,” she said.<\/p>\n

If someone routinely experiences disruptive snoring \u2014 which is loud and frequent, disrupts sleep, or leads to daytime fatigue<\/u><\/a> \u2014 that can be an indicator of an underlying sleep disorder such as sleep apnea, Harris said.<\/p>\n

“Also, if snoring is accompanied by pauses in breathing, gasping for air or choking sounds, it could be a sign of OSA,” she added.<\/p>\n

If snoring is caused by obstructive sleep apnea and goes undiagnosed, it can have significant health risks, Harris noted.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Risks associated with OSA can include an increased risk of heart disease<\/u><\/a>, stroke, diabetes, high blood pressure and heart attack,” the doctor said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you experience snoring that interferes with sleep or is accompanied by any of the warning signs listed above, it\u2019s important to speak with a sleep specialist, said Harris.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For snoring that is not caused by an underlying condition, such actions as sleeping on your side, elevating your head, avoiding alcohol before bed, maintaining a healthy weight and using a humidifier in your bedroom can help reduce snoring, according to Harris.<\/p>\n

The doctor also advised against “home remedies,” such as mouth taping, which can further restrict airflow and lead to a greater risk of serious health complications<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n
