Here Are Some Tips...
Lose weight. Losing even a little bit of weight can reduce fatty tissue in the back of the throat and decrease or even stop snoring.
Exercise can also help to stop snoring. Working out to tone your arms, legs, and abs, for example, also leads to toning the muscles in your throat, which in turn can lead to less snoring.
Quit smoking. If you smoke, your chances of snoring are high. Smoking causes airways to be blocked by irritating the membranes in the nose and throat.
Clear nasal passages. Having a stuffy nose makes inhalation difficult and creates a vacuum in your throat, which in turn leads to snoring. You can do it naturally with a neti pot or try nasal decongestants or nasal strips to help you breathe more easily while sleeping.
Keep bedroom air moist with a humidifier. Dry air can irritate membranes in the nose and throat.
Reposition. Elevating your head four inches may ease breathing and encourage your tongue and jaw to move forward. There are specially designed pillows available to help prevent snoring by making sure your neck muscles are not crimped.
Avoid caffeine and heavy meals within two hours of going to bed, especially dairy products and soymilk.
Sleep on your side. Avoid sleeping on your back, as gravity makes it more likely for your tongue and soft tissues to drop and obstruct your airway.

Usa a product call "NeckLine slimmer". I have had limited success with this product.
ReplyDeleteYou can also get with your dentist to be fit with a dental appliance that pulls your jaw forward,. Make sure your dentist has training in this.
Assess yourself for sleep apnea. If you stop breathing as well as snoring to the point of being obnoxious too ppl; then get with your doctor about a sleep disorder. FYI, a cpap machine will treat the sleep apnea and end the snoring.
Try sleeping on your side and see if that helps. When you lie on you back your tongue sometimes slides down causing snoring to be pretty loud.
ReplyDeleteIt also depends on the source of the snoring. If the source is nasal congestion then nasal strips should work.
If the snoring is not inflammation based then chances are the muscles in the throat and jaw have weakened. Then you can either choose to do snoring exercises to fix this or use a mouthpiece while sleeping.
