Snoring happens when air cannot flow freely through the nose and throat during sleep, and the soft tissues vibrate. It is very common – and how much you snore can change from night to night.

Common causes

Sleeping on your back
Alcohol or sleeping pills in the evening
A blocked nose (cold, allergies)
Weight gain
Being very tired or sleeping too little

Track what makes a difference

SleepSay records your snoring at night and shows the snoring minutes in a morning report. Add a note (for example "wine at dinner" or "slept on my side") and compare the nights in the trends.

See a doctor if you snore loudly almost every night and someone notices pauses in your breathing, gasping, or you are very sleepy during the day. These can be signs of sleep apnea. SleepSay is not a medical device and does not diagnose it.
