Stop snoring !!


Do you snore?

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.


Tips : -


- 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.

- 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.
  
- If you are a smoker, stop smoking, if that is not feasible then avoid smoking right
  before you go to bed. Smoking causes inflammation and swelling of the throat.
 
- Take anti-snoring pills or use anti-snoring nasal spray.

- Consult a medical professional if your snoring continues to adversely affect your
  sleep.
