subject: 3 Top Snoring Remedies That Work [print this page] Snorers don't get a proper night's sleep because their snoring interferes with the proper sleep cycle. But, then again, their sleeping partners don't sleep well either and so their health is affected as well.
Too many times, the outcome is that partners sleep in separate rooms - which isn't an ideal state in a marriage or relationship -- or, even worse, split up and / or divorce because of snoring.
That's why it's so important to find a cure for snoring. And it can certainly be prevented because there are many snoring treatments, devices and home remedies available to the sufferer. So, whether you're the snorer, or the spouse or partner of the snorer, you need to get to know the snoring remedies that work.
In the first part of this short article I focus on 3 natural snoring remedies that are seen to work very well. Then I talk about several other snoring remedies that many folks have also used successfully to stop snoring at night...
3 SNORING REMEDIES THAT WORK
1. Reduce Weight
Obese people are at a higher risk of snoring. Why? Simple. Because excess fat, particularly around your neck, puts pressure on the airways and so restricts them. This results in turbulence when you breathe, causing the soft tissue to vibrate, producing the snoring sounds we all know and love!
2. Lead a Healthy Lifestyle
This is important, not just as a snoring remedy, but also as an overall health improvement plan. Ensure you only eat healthy, balanced meals. Try to avoid alcohol. And, of course, start a daily exercise program and stick with it.
3. Avoid Meals and Alcohol Before Bedtime
If you eat a meal in the late evening before going to bed, the undigested food sits in your stomach as you lie in bed. This puts a huge pressure on your diaphragm which then has to work much harder as you breathe. This alone can cause snoring. If you do have a meal in the evening, make sure it is at least 3 to 4 hours before you go to bed, to give your system time to digest the food.
If you do decide to reduce alcohol rather than avoid it altogether, make sure you don't drink prior to going to bed at night. Alcohol can depress your central nervous system, resulting in the muscles in your jaw and throat becoming relaxed and so blocking your airways. This results in snoring.
These are just 3 natural snoring remedies, that if followed properly, can help to prevent you, or your partner's snoring.
But, there are other ways to stop snoring at night and these can be used in conjunction with the three remedies discussed above for extra assurance...
MORE SNORING REMEDIES THAT WORK
Stop snoring aids are very popular these days. Some of the most popular are devices such as nasal strips, anti snoring pillows, snore guards, snoring mouthpieces, and more.
Many sufferers find snore relief if they can adjust their sleeping position. This usually means from their back to their side. Of course, once asleep, you have no control over your position. But you can use a special snore pillow, or a special waistband that has a device on the back. Both of these snore aids force you on to your side.
Sometimes nasal allergies or congestion can cause snoring due to clogged airways. If you can get rid of the mucous caused by these you stand a good chance of stopping snoring. Special steam vaporizers can help you to do this.
So there you have 3 top natural snoring remedies, plus, 3 other remedies to help you, or your partner, to stop snoring. And remember that snoring affects everyone not just the snorer! So, you owe it to yourself and your partner to cure that snore.
