Five Ways To Stop Snoring - Tonight

While you have to remember that not every remedy works for every person

, here are five of the best ways to stop snoring. They don't involve expensive devices, prescriptions or surgery, and might just work tonight!

1. Roll Over. Just changing your sleeping may just do the trick to eliminate your snoring forever. If you sleep on your back, try sleeping on your side instead. While this trick does not work for everyone, for many it is the easiest, fastest, and least costly of any snoring cure.

2. Lose Weight. If you are overweight, those extra ounces around your neck could be the culprit behind your snoring problems, putting pressure on your air passages while you sleep at night and causing snoring. Shedding those extra pounds will have many other benefits for your health too of course!

3. Quit Smoking. Cigarettes and cigars don't just harm your lungs while you're smoking them. The effects continue while you're sleeping. Stop smoking and you'll find your nose and throat are less irritated, there is less mucus in your airways, your sinuses are less congested, and your snoring is reduced, or gone altogether.

4. Stop Drinking. At least before bedtime. Consuming alcohol literally does loosen your tongue, and your throat. Remember that alcohol is a sedative, relaxing the muscles in your body, including your tongue, and the muscles of your throat. Relaxed tissue surrounding your air passages is a major cause of snoring.

5. Adjust your Pillow. If you can't sleep on your side, and absolutely must sleep on your back, try adjusting your pillow to make it thicker under your neck. This will force your head back, opening your throat wider. This may just be the trick to get the snoring to stop. If needed, try rolling up a hand towel and placing that under your neck. Be careful, as this could cause you neck pain or other complications if you're not careful.

Remember that snoring is not to be treated lightly and can be a symptom of, or cause, serious health conditions. Talk to your health care provider about your snoring.
