Snoring can disturb your partner’s sleep and make shared sleep difficult. The important question is whether it is ordinary snoring or a sign of a condition that needs medical assessment. This guide separates sleep disruption from the risks of untreated sleep apnoea.

Snoring and disrupted sleep

If snoring has a substantial effect on your or your partner’s life, or practical changes are not helping, speak with a healthcare professional. See our practical guide to reducing snoring.

Warning signs that need assessment

Breathing pauses, gasping or choking during sleep and pronounced daytime sleepiness can suggest sleep apnoea. Morning headaches and difficulty concentrating may also occur. These symptoms need assessment; a snoring sound alone does not establish a diagnosis.

Why untreated sleep apnoea matters

Untreated sleep apnoea can increase the risk of problems including high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke and accidents related to sleepiness. These risks should not be presented as inevitable consequences of ordinary snoring. Read more about sleep apnoea and medical advice.

Where does Asonor fit?

Asonor® Anti-Snoring Solution is a medical device intended to reduce snoring through local lubrication and hydration of the mucous membranes in the throat. Its jet-stream applicator carries the solution through the nostrils to the throat. Correct application matters, and results vary.

Asonor is not a treatment for sleep apnoea and must not replace prescribed treatment. A reduction in snoring does not demonstrate that sleep apnoea or its associated health risks have been treated.

Using Asonor correctly
