How to Stop Snoring – Some Simple Solutions to a Noisy Condition
If you are a habitual snorer, and you and your partner are sick and tired of interrupted sleep, perhaps you should consider experimenting with one or two of the devices on the market designed specifically to alleviate your snoring problem.
If you are like me, you snore worse when you sleep on your back. This is a common situation for a lot of people with a snoring condition. So one way to stop snoring is to use a strategy that will stop you from rolling onto your back during the night.
Many people have found really effective snoring relief by using a snoring pillow. This specially shaped pillow enables the snorer to sleep comfortably on their side, and reduces the chance of them easily rolling onto their back whilst asleep. A second function of these pillows is to elongate the neck slightly and move the lower jaw slightly forward, thus providing the best chance of the airway remaining clear.
Many snorers also breath through their mouths whilst asleep, another scenario that enhances snoring. If you wake up in the morning with a sore and dry throat, you may well be a mouth breather.
A snoring chin strap is a simple and low cost device that is a fabric harness worn over the head, with a chin cup attached. When adjusted, it keeps the mouth closed and makes the user breath through their nose, a much more natural method of breathing, and a good strategy to reduce snoring.
Additionally, a program to lose weight, a reduction in alcohol consumption, and reducing or giving up snoring can have a profoundly positive effect on these types of sleep disorders. Being in good health and maintaining a healthy diet should play an important part of your strategy to reduce or cure snoring.
I have become something of an expert of snoring and sleep apnea related sleep disorders. I have recently reviewed the resmed cpap range of products. I highly recommend a sleep apnea test to anyone who believes they may be a sufferer. I was, and due to some testing and low cost devices, my condition is now under control.
