Snoring is a common issue that affects many people. If someone snores while sleeping next to you, it can be difficult for you to get a restful night. However, the person who is snoring usually sleeps soundly and does not hear their own snoring. Many wonder why those who snore loudly cannot hear the sound themselves. There are several scientific and physiological reasons behind this. Here, we explain why people do not hear their own snoring and what this might indicate.
According to sleep experts, when we are asleep, our brain enters a state of rest. During this time, both the body and brain are relaxed, meaning we are less responsive to external sounds. When you snore, your brain does not register the noise because it originates from within your own body.
The sound should be loud enough to reach the ears, but since it is generated internally and heard primarily by your body, external noises often mask it. This is why those sharing your bed can hear you snoring, but you cannot hear yourself.
Snoring is a sound produced internally in the trachea and throat, so it does not directly reach the ears. This makes it less audible to the person snoring, but louder to those nearby. The volume and intensity of snoring also vary between individuals. Some people snore loudly and clearly, while others snore more quietly. If your snoring is soft, it may be even harder to hear yourself.
Persistent loud snoring can pose health risks. It may be a symptom of sleep apnoea, a breathing disorder. Therefore, if others mention your snoring, it is important to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation.
Because snoring originates internally and the brain is asleep, we are generally unaware of it ourselves. Only those around us can confirm that we snore. It is important to monitor your health and seek medical advice if your snoring is frequent and loud. (AI Generated)
