The following tips will hopefully teach you how to stop
snoring. 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

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.
- Sleep on a firmer pillow, a pillow that's too soft encourages your throat muscles to
relax and narrows your air passageway.
- Inhale steam before sleeping or sleep in a room with a humidifier turned on; this
will reduce congestion and moisturize the throat.
- Purchase some nasal
strips and put them on before going to sleep. Nasal strips will
open up your nostrils and allow more air to come in, thus reduce snoring.

sleep.
Good Night……
