Stop Snoring Tips
What is Snooring?
Snoring, a harsh or rattling noise that is usually produced during deep sleep. The sound of snoring is produced when air inhaled through the mouth vibrates the soft palate (the tissue in the roof of the mouth near the throat). As the soft tissue vibrates, the lips, cheeks, and nostrils can also vibrate, making the snoring even louder. Almost everyone snores occasionally, but men usually snore more often than women and children.
The following tips will hopefully give you relief with your snoring problems. It's important to remember that different remedies will have varying success depending on the individual.
Elevate your head by sleeping on a thicker pillow or multiple pillows will help reduce your snoring.
Don't drink alcoholic beverages, take sleeping pills, tranquilizers, or antihistamines right before going to sleep, they will cause your muscles to relax and limit your air passage way.
Avoid dairy products, which can cause mucus build-up right before you go to sleep.
If you are overweight, losing some weight will reduce snoring by increasing the space in your air passage way.
Sleeping on your side instead of your back will help to prevent snoring.
A common remedy to prevent sleeping on your back is to sew a tennis ball to the back of your shirt; the discomfort of sleeping on the ball will prevent you from staying on your back.
Try following a regular sleep routine.
Try taking in a little bit of honey before sleeping.
Don't eat a big meal right before bed, if your stomach is full it will push up on your diaphragm and limit breathing passage ways.
Avoid eating "rich" foods such as cakes, cookies, chocolate and pizza.
