The Reason I Snore Is ...
During National Stop Snoring Week 2006 we ran an on-line competition where entrants where asked to perform our snore tests and report their results.
Snorers identifying a single cause :
12.9% found they had small or collapsing nostrils.
27.9% diagnosed themselves as mouth breathers.
18.5% believed they were tongue base snorers.
A number of people found their snoring is not confined to a single cause but is multifactoral.
8.9% were mouth breathers and suffering from collapsing nostrils.
3.5% were mouth breathers and tongue base snorers.
1.3% tested positive for all three tests.
27% were undecided about what was causing their snoring.
