1. Top Prevent Snoring Tip No. 1 - Evening Meals
Going to bed on a full stomach is a recipe (forgive pun) for disaster! The undigested food in your stomach puts a lot of pressure on your diaphragm which can then constrict your air passage ways. You need to ensure that your food is fully digested before going to bed. So your last meal should be at least 3 hours before bedtime.
2. Top Prevent Snoring Tip No. 2 - Alcohol
Alcohol acts as a stimulant at first, but then quite quickly acts as a depressant. This adds to your overall relaxed state during sleep, helping to make the root cause of your snoring even worse. So don't go to bed under the influence of alcohol.
3. Top Prevent Snoring Tip No. 3 - Weight
Most of us carry a bit too much weight nowadays; some way too much weight. The thing is about carrying these extra pounds is that you also add more to your neck and lower jaw area. This results in a much fleshier lower jaw and neck, which when you sleep adds more pressure on your airways and constricts them. So, a top tip to stop snoring at night is to lose that weight!
As I said above, you should try these 3 tips before buying any stop snoring devices as you could save yourself unnecessary expense. But there are way more things you can do to make sure that you do eliminate your snoring. See below...
