Georgia Ranked In Top 10 Worst States for Snoring
Roughly 90 million people in the U.S. snore while sleeping each night (roughly 27% of the population). According to a report by Mattress Next Day, Georgia ranks in the country’s top 10 states of heavy snoring. In fact, placed 7th on the list.
There are many reasons why people snore. Johns Hopkins Medicine says “Snoring is the sound of obstructed breathing, which can be caused by some basic factors, such as poor muscle tone, bulky throat tissue, or a long soft palate or uvula.”
Sleep apnea, sleep deprivation, and heavy congestion can also be lead causes of snoring. Often those who are snoring do not realize they are doing so. Their partner or other people in the room certainly do, however. While snoring can certainly cause a disruptive night’s sleep for those who do it, the noise also creates sleepless nights for the roommates.
Johns Hopkins Medicine also suggests that snoring should be discussed with your doctor if you are one of the millions of Americans who do so. Some remedies can help depending on your situation. Certain devices, medications, and healthier lifestyle adjustments can help for a sounder and quieter sleep.
Georgia The 7th Most Snore-Heavy State
As for Georgia specifically, Mattress Next Day’s statistics show – 15.5% of adults snore. That equates to approximately 1,710,847 people.
Mattress Next Day was able to take its research a step further. They analyzed Google Keyword Data on how to stop snoring and the overall term “snoring.” In doing this, they explain how they were “able to reveal the states seeking home remedies, and those with the highest ‘embarrassment levels’ regarding snoring.” It appears Georgia snorers were comfortable because the state did not rank in the top 15 of those researching or googling snoring.
Methodology
To determine that Georgia ranks in the top 10 states of heavy snoring, Mattress Next Day studied Statista and Google Search data. From there, they then “conducted an analysis to determine the number of people.”
