Question by cpc26ca: Is there a darwinian reason for snoring?
I’m a guy and I know that I can’t freaking get to sleep if I hear my dad snoring. I feel like crazy gluing snorers noses. I mean, how can women sleep when their hubbies snore? Or is it because they are women, that they have some biological mechanism that blocks out snoring, letting them sleep. I wouldn’t think there’s any evolutionary purpose…it would only let other cavemen/predators know where you are, making it easy for them to prey on you.

I, myself, think that snoring is only something that modern man does. I don’t think men in prehistoric times grew to be fat or old enough to snore. Or is it only to do with the throat/windpipe, meaning that totally fit athletes snore as well?

Snoring is a medical condition. I don’t think it would provide an evolutionary benefit. It would make it easier for predators to find you in the dark. Old dogs also snore.

Question by hellothere: My child does snoring noise while breathing, what could be the reason?
n the last 2 weeks I hear snoring noises while my 1.5 years old is breathing. This is happening only at the morning and usually after eating yogurt. I can hear snoring noises only for 20-25 minutes and then noise goes away. During this period of time she can’t talk loud, she just whispers. What could be the reason for those noises? I will get her to a doctor in few days, but was wondering is it something serious?

My 5 year old sounds like he talks through his nose and seems like he has a hard time breathing… he even stops breathing in his sleep. Our doctor said the nasally sound is because of his adenoids and we should get them removed..another thing maybe she put something up her nose and now ts stuck??? I am not sure. I wouldn’t worry until I received an exam and a doctors opinion. Good luck :)
