Snoring in Lewisham

Snoring is noisy breathing caused by the vibration of soft tissue in your airway when it is relaxed during sleep. Studies have shown it is common affecting up to 40% of the UK population. It is associated with a condition called obstructive sleep apnoea. This is where the airway narrows to such a degree that it completely closes during sleep so breathing is interrupted. This causes irregular breathing at night which can result in excessive sleepiness during the day.

Snoring can have a significant impact on someones life. Sleepiness may affect how you function at work, your concentration levels or raise safety concerns when you drive. Snoring can have wider effects even disturbing a partners sleep and effecting relationships.
