Snoring
When these muscles relax the jaw drops and the tongue falls back. The airway becomes narrower, which causes snoring and breathing difficulties.
Snoring is the vibration of the air and soft tissue as the air passes through the restricted airway.
This is true even when the snoring seems to come from the nose.
Sleep quality is degraded because the snoring disrupts the normal sleep pattern.
The sleeper will often wake feeling unrested and will easily fall asleep when relaxing.
