While You Were Sleeping Issue 71 | October 7, 2024 This week, we're diving into a topic that's more common—and more disruptive—than you might think: snoring. We all know it can be a serious relationship hazard (your partner has probably told you a few times!), but snoring is also dangerous for your health. We've already done the legwork on finding the best mouthpieces and mouthguards on the market, but that's just scratching the surface. Snoring can be a complex issue with various causes, from sleep apnea to lifestyle factors, and it's crucial to understand the full picture. That's why we're providing our comprehensive snoring guide—to help you identify the root cause and find the right solution for better sleep (and quieter nights!). Learn More Sleep Quiz What percentage of people with sleep apnea are undiagnosed?   A. 10% B. 25% C. 50% D. 80%   Scroll to the bottom for the answer! At-Home Sleep Tests If you suspect you might have sleep apnea, there's no need to spend a night in an uncomfortable hospital bed anymore. At-home sleep tests make it easier than ever to get tested for sleep apnea from the comfort of your own bed. These tests are convenient, easy to use, and can help accurately identify if obstructive sleep apnea is a cause of your snoring. It's time to take control of your sleep health—right from home! Learn More Sleep Tip of the Week Sleeping on your side can reduce snoring by keeping your airway open. Sleeping on your back allows gravity to pull your tongue and soft tissues to the back of your throat, which can block your airway and cause snoring. Eating a Plant-Based Diet Could Reduce Snoring A new study out of Australia analyzed data from over 14,000 people and discovered something interesting.   Those who followed a healthy plant-based diet had a lower risk of obstructive sleep apnea.   Those on an unhealthy plant-based diet were at higher risk. While it's not certain if a plant-based diet beats a meat-based one for sleep apnea, some experts think plant-based foods might reduce inflammation in your body—and that could help keep your airways clear. Learn More Quiz Answer The correct answer is D. A staggering 80% of people with sleep apnea are undiagnosed, meaning their snoring could be a warning sign of something much more serious. Don't wait—get tested today!
