But first, we must look at what happens when we're awake. During the day, we gather tension in our body. Not only do we become physically tired and tense, an emotional tension is also stored in our muscles.
Just try and think what you do when you are angry. Don't you close your fists even though you don't intend to hit anyone. This is nothing but a part of our unconscious body language which we have no control over.
Research has revealed that most of our communication is done by our voice tone and the expressions on our face.This is about 80%. The rest of the 20% is conveyed through our words
Sometime or the other all of us have encountered a situation where we have to put on a different face and voice than what we actually are feeling from inside. Even if you are raging inside you have to keep your calm because you cannot shout at the individual you are dealing with.
There are many effects on our body while we sleep, like whenever we freeze our feelings, they get stored in the body muscles. This in turn primarily effects the muscles around our breathing passage.
When we fall asleep, this muscle tension blocks the breathing passages. That's what causes early night snoring. As our sleep deepens, these muscles relax a little and the snoring often stops for awhile.
While sleeping for some time, then we go back to a very light sleep called the REM sleep. This is the phase where we dream. During the REM sleep we also put together all the informations and experiences from the previous day. Our intuition takes all the emotions which are stored in our body muscles and processes them. Just think about the muscles while all these were taking place.
Unfortunately, during the REM sleep tension doesn't get unconfined from our muscles. The assessment our subconscious makes, and the muscles might need to be kept anxious to freeze any sentiments the next day. This would make snoring a dilemma and even shoddier.
It is necessary for us to know that while we are in the REM sleep, the emotional process activates our muscles. This results in blocking of our breathing passage and this causes snoring. We hooked into REM sleep 2-3 times a night. This results in early morning and late night snoring.
So what's the solution? There are two ways to eliminate the underlying cause for snoring...
1) The more sober and non reactive you're, the less emotional stress is stored in your muscles. A happy, joyful attitude, in every situation, is the key to your well being. Indulging in a resentment is like eating a poison and thinking it will kill your enemy. Expressing your feelings and reality moderately, releases and integrates the experience immediately, so your subconscious doesn't have to do it during the night.
2) Exercising with your tongue, throat and jaws helps in reducing tension from our muscles. We have been facing the problem of creating muscle tension since years, so now it is required to exhume the stressed body muscles. If we continue with these exercises it will help us discontinue early night snoring as well as REM sleep snoring.
Use of both the tactics would do wonders.
Its very sad that the most frequent way used in dealing with snoring only addresses the most palpable symptoms. Some times even if the symptoms vanish for a while, the genuine fundamental cause slowly gets worse. This leads to the reappearance of the snoring much louder. The best remedy to cure snoring is by dealing with the true original cause.
