Can Sleeping with a Fan Increase Snoring?

If you have lived with a loved one’s snoring, you may have turned to sleeping with a fan to drown out the noise. The problem is, fans can actually exacerbate sleep apnea and other sleeping disorders by increasing dryness and irritating airways.

If you are living with a chronic snorer, drowning out the problem is not the best idea, particularly if the method used to drown it out is something that can make it worse. Snoring is one of the most common symptoms of sleep apnea and if you love a snorer, it may be time to suggest they discuss the issue with an experienced sleep doctor in your area.

Snoring Treatment

One of the most effective snoring treatments is a customized orthotic device that can hold soft tissue in place and keep airways open during sleep. These devices can be customized by a sleep apnea dentist and are often enough to completely illuminate the problem.

In some instances, snoring can be aggravated by lifestyle choices and physical factors as well. A sleep apnea physician can discuss this with your loved one in more detail to come up with a personalized plan to restore a good night’s sleep to everyone in the house.
