Snoring occurs when air flows through your throat past relaxed tissues, and a loud harsh noise is created. While most people snore from time to time, for some people it is more of a chronic problem, and it can occasionally be a sign of a more serious health condition that needs immediate medical attention. Additionally, snoring can disrupt your sleep and the sleep of your partner.
Therefore, it is important that you look at how you can improve your health and lifestyle choices to transform your overall wellbeing and help get rid of your snoring for good.
4 key factors to stop snoring for good
So, here are some of our recommendations for the best remedies for snoring, so that you and your partner can finally enjoy a good night’s sleep.
Lose Weight
One of the most common causes of snoring is being overweight, as it causes extra tissues in the throat which can make a small snoring issue even worse. If you have recently gained some extra weight, then you may notice that you aren’t sleeping as well, and this could be because you have a snoring problem.
Even if you aren’t overweight, you may carry excess weight around your throat or neck which can make snoring worse. So, you can end your snoring, and get rid of it for good, by exercising and losing weight.
Use Sleep Products
There is a range of sleep products on the market that can help relieve the nasal passages and make sleeping easier, and ease snoring. Sleep products such as those provided by SomniFix are the easy way to stop sleeping with your mouth open, which can be a huge cause of snoring. It is important that you train yourself to breathe through your nose as this will help to keep your passageways lubricated and keep your sinuses moisturized. It may seem strange to try and keep your mouth closed while you sleep at first, but using mouth strips can help train your tongue to stay in place and your mouth to stay closed.
Sleep on Your Side
Many people don’t realize that their snoring could be caused by the position that they sleep in at night. So, it is important that you try different positions to see if it eases your snoring. Often you will find that lying on your back can cause your tongue to fall down into your throat, which narrows your airways, and obstructs airflow.
To avoid this, you should try sleeping on your side. However, if you always wake up lying on your back by morning, you could try sewing a tennis ball into the back of your pajama top, to stop your body from rolling over throughout the night.
Raise Your Head
Another way that you can get rid of your snoring problem for good is by sleeping with your head slightly higher than the rest of our body. This can help to give your passageways more room and open up your airways more to reduce snoring. We recommend that you raise your head by around 4 inches, so you might want to invest in an anti-snore pillow to make it easier for you to keep your head raised throughout the night.
Limit Alcohol
If you are a regular drinker of alcohol, then you may find that this is the reason why you are snoring, and by limiting your alcohol intake, you could dramatically reduce your snoring. Drinking alcohol can depress your central nervous system and cause your muscles and tissues to relax, including the tissues that you have in your throat that cause you to snore.
It is important that you do what you can to get rid of your snoring problem for good, as getting a good night’s sleep is essential for your health and wellbeing.
