Top 6 Ways To Avoid Snoring

It’s annoying that your partner is snoring so loud that you don’t have a good sleep every night. It’s a health condition that you must not ignore. Snoring brought signs that there is something wrong with your body. This serious condition might be, but not limited to obstructive sleep apnea (blocked airways), sleep deprivation or obesity. Drinking alcohol before going to sleep also causes snoring.

If you are snoring, it is better to talk to a doctor to check your condition and to address any issues regarding your well-being.

1. Lose weight if you are obese

By losing weight, the amount of tissue in the throat that might be causing the snoring will reduce also. Watch your food intake to reduce weight and get regular exercise.

2. Sleep on your side, not on your back

Sleeping on your back sometimes causes the tongue to move to the back of the throat, which partly blocks airflow through your throat. Sleeping on your side may be all you need to do to allow air to flow easily and reduce or stop your snoring. Tell your partner that if you are snoring when you are asleep, allow her to move you to sleep on your side to stop you from snoring. After that, she will have a good sleep too!

3. Raise up the head of your bed

Elevating the head of your bed by four inches may help reduce your snoring by keeping your airways open. Try to add few soft pillows to elevate your head. Make sure that it’s not too high in order for your neck to relax.

4. Avoid or limit alcohol intake before bed

Try not to consume alcohol for at least two hours before going to sleep. Alcohol can relax the throat muscles, causing snoring.

5. Stop smoking

Smoking is an unhealthy habit that can worsen your snoring. It brings also a lot of cancer diseases to your body if you don’t stop smoking.

6. Get enough sleep

Make sure you get the recommended seven to eight hours of sleep you need each night.
