Question by cpc26ca: Is there a darwinian reason for snoring?
I’m a guy and I know that I can’t freaking get to sleep if I hear my dad snoring. I feel like crazy gluing snorers noses. I mean, how can women sleep when their hubbies snore? Or is it because they are women, that they have some biological mechanism that blocks out snoring, letting them sleep. I wouldn’t think there’s any evolutionary purpose…it would only let other cavemen/predators know where you are, making it easy for them to prey on you.

I, myself, think that snoring is only something that modern man does. I don’t think men in prehistoric times grew to be fat or old enough to snore. Or is it only to do with the throat/windpipe, meaning that totally fit athletes snore as well?

Snoring is a medical condition. I don’t think it would provide an evolutionary benefit. It would make it easier for predators to find you in the dark. Old dogs also snore.

Question by Christine H: Are there any natural solutions that can help my husband snoring?
He has tried the over the counter nose strips and the mouth spray. They help some but not enough. He just simply will not have surgery to stop the snoring. I simply need some sleep! Thanks.

A very simple solution you can try is the following:

When you are awakened by his snoring, simply match his snoring and the rhythm of his snoring, and then when both of you are “in sync” with his snoring, then slowly quiet your snoring, and if you do this right, his snoring will follow your snoring until you will stop snoring and go back to sleep.

Another easy solution is the following:

Simply when he is snoring, whisper into his ear “you are snoring; stop snoring.” Make sure not to make it so loud that he will awake from his sleep, but audible and gentle enough for his mind to hear the message. The message will get through to him, yet he will not be conscious of hearing it, and if it works, he should stop snoring.

Although snoring can be classified as a physiological problem, it is a result of a psychological problem, which can be caused by many factors (which I will not get into.)

Let me know how it works.
