How To Stop Snoring

Have you ever wondered why getting someone to roll over will stop their snoring?

Snoring can be a big problem. It can develop into sleep apnea, a potentially serious health issue. And if one partner already has a problem with insomnia, being awakened by a snorer can be very frustrating.

It's because their airway is in a position that doesn't allow optimal air flow. When they roll over, their airway is repositioned and more conducive to air flow. Many people are desperate to learn how to stop snoring but few have found an effective solution. You could be one of the many millions of people on the lookout for an effective way to stop snoring.

There are several options that you can try before seeking a physician’s help.

1 . To prevent snoring, a solid, flat pillow is recommended, or no pillow at all. Keeping the neck straight will reduce snoring but elevating the head with a pillow will narrow nasal passages and induce snores.

2 . The easiest and most successful home remedy is to simply change sleeping positions. As mentioned, sleeping on the back is the number one cause of snoring in those who do not have a severe problem.

3 . You could try and increase the strength in the throat as well as tongue by performing certain exercises that will prevent the tongue from falling back towards the throat.

4 . Stop Bad Habits That Contribute to Snoring. One of these is smoking because smoking causes the throat to swell and become inflamed.

5 . If your snoring is caused by allergies or by a cold, there are a couple of things you can do. First, take an antihistamine or a decongestant before you go to bed. Another option is to gargle with peppermint mouthwash.

Now there are ways to stop snoring that don't require devices or medical procedures. Instead, the patient opens up his airways naturally through a series of exercises that pinpoint the specific airway restriction. Some patients find relief in just two to four weeks by committing to only three minutes of exercise a day.

By being proactive and finding out just what it takes to stop snoring, you will be nipping this bothersome habit in the bud and it will make you a happier and healthier person.
