Answer by Jacinda
This is a fairly common problem that occurs in many households when going to sleep. Usually due to respiratory problems are accentuated especially in cases of allergies or colds.
More and more people who suffer from obstructive sleep apnea are not satisfied with the results of conventional methods of treatment.
Short of breath means that the body suffers with hypoxia (lack of oxygen in the body) and hypercapnia (excessive carbon dioxide in the body). Lack of oxygen can cause brain damage, heart problems, seizures, and in worst cases sudden death. Too much carbon dioxide in the blood can lead to conditions such as metabolic acidosis.
Some tips to reduce snoring:
• Try to lose weight if you are overweight
• Reduce or eliminate alcohol, cigarettes and other sedatives at bedtime
• Avoid sleeping on your back
• Ensure that the person does not fall asleep before snorer.
• Avoid a sedentary lifestyle and do exercises for good muscle tone and lose weight.
• Rest the head of the bed between 20 ° to 30 °, depending on your comfort
• Avoid heavy meals at least three hours before bedtime

Answer by Concerned Citizen
Sometimes people sleep with their mouth open because their nose is blocked or they have sinus problems. Check to see if you can breath easily from your nose.
Another reason why some people have their mouth open while sleeping is because they are snoring. Not too much you can do about that. For some people it is caused by them being overweight and when they lay down their fat blocks their throat a bit. (This is my case--solution is weight loss)
Other people suffer from a severe problem called sleep apnea where they don't breathe well at night and may actually stop breathing several times in the night.
If anyone sleeps with you perhaps you can ask them to see if you are having snoring, etc. You could also videotape yourself sleeping and see if you get any clues from the tape.
Good luck to you.
Answer by Steph
I really don't know what the answer is but i just wanna say that it can eventually cause problems in relationships. My husband snores terribly loud - we havent slept in the same room for years. At first i hated that but am quite used to it now and quite like having a bed to myself!!! But even when we go away on holidays its a problem as i know i'm not going to get any sleep for the majority of the time so I end up tired and fed up. He sort of monopolises the living room when he falls asleep and starts his snoring - the rest of the family go to their rooms so I really don't like that but when i wake him he always says i wont snore......
Answer by kecgoddess
Go to your doctor and see about a referral to a sleep clinic. They hook you up to a whole bunch of wires that monitor you as you sleep. Afterwards, they may suggest a c-pap machine which consists of a mask that you wear to bed and it forces oxygen into your lungs while you sleep. Also, if you quit breathing at night while you are sleeping, not good - that is what the c-pap machine is for.
Ask your parents to schedule you an appt and go and talk to the doctor!!
Good luck!
Answer by praveen musafer
Sleep is one of those things that is absolutely necessary for people to live full and healthy lives. It is supposed to be a source of rest as well as a way to repair the body to take on the activities the following day. However, there are some people who do not experience the kind of slumber others do. One of the disorders that is associated with sleep is a condition known as apnea seizures.
Basics
Sleep apnea is caused by the body's inability to breathe properly during sleep. This can be caused by various factors such as obstruction of the air passages. When this occurs, the person has trouble breathing and the sleep is disturbed. Another cause for sleep apnea is the inability of the central nervous system to perform its function of regulating breathing properly. When this occurs, one of the symptoms that can manifest is seizures. The signs of seizures can range from feeling disoriented to involuntary muscle movement.
Epilepsy
Sleep apnea and epilepsy are two medical conditions that are often connected by their tendency to exacerbate the manifestation of each other. When a person experiences sleep apnea, the person is deprived of sleep because he or she tends to wake up at various times. The constant lack of sleep can decrease an epileptic patient's ability to fight off the occurrence of a seizure. On the other hand, the medication taken to treat epilepsy has side effects that affect the respiratory functions of the central system as well as relaxing the air passages. Thus, this can cause a predisposition to sleep apnea. Both of these conditions tend to cause seizures for people.
Evaluation
Apnea seizures can happen to anyone and at any particular point. However, there are some people who are more prone to experiencing it. For example, apnea more commonly occurs in men. People who snore or are overweight also have a higher risk of experiencing apnea seizures. The reason behind this is that they are the ones who have more trouble getting enough oxygen in their systems while they sleep.
Effects
Sleep apnea seizures can take a major toll on the body. People who experience involuntary movement while they sleep tend to wake up tired and without energy in the morning. A headache is also most likely to set in. Besides the inconvenience of exhaustion, the effects of apnea seizures can also be life-threatening. The deprivation of sleep over prolonged periods of time can cause cardiac arrhythmia, or the irregular beating of the heart.
Treatment
Doctors recommend an overall healthy lifestyle when it comes to lessening apnea seizures. Weight loss and regular exercise is needed because it will help the body regulate the oxygen it uses. Thus, the cause of sleep apnea, which is abnormal respiration, can be eliminated or lessened. In some extreme cases, surgery may be resorted to in order to tear sleep apnea and the seizures that accompany it. A procedure called the tracheostomy, which involves the removal of any obstructing uvula, can be performed.

Answer by the punk professor
Ouch. I know what you mean, there's been many a time when my sleep has been interrupted by an elbow from my wife and a less than polite request for me to stop snoring!! There's a few things you can try that might help a bit such as cutting out alcohol in the evenings, sleeping on your side, buying some snore strips to help with breathing or using some of that Vic ks stuff that people rub on for colds (apparently I'm not so bad when I put a bit of that under my nose before bed). All the possible solutions I have seen have only taken the edge of it a bit though and not cut it out altogether. The best way we found was for my wife to go to bed first and get a head start on sleep!
