How to stop snoring?
The age old question, and one that people frantically type in to Google search- ‘how to stop snoring‘- at 4 am whilst their partner is snoring the house down beside them, completely oblivious in the land of slumber.
The odds are if you’re reading this you’re either: a) awake from your partner snoring & looking for a way to stop it without doing time, or a lengthy bout of community service; or, b) you are the snorer and your partner is threatening take matters in to their own hands unless you find a solution to stop.
Either way, you have come to the right place, congratulations.
Firstly, it’s important to know why we snore, we have written about this in another blog which you can read HERE, but to sum up:
When we’re asleep the muscles in our neck relax,
Sometimes they relax so much that airway of our nose & throat partially closes and becomes too narrow for enough air to travel through our lungs,
This narrowing of the airway causes the throat to vibrate, resulting in the sound of snoring.
Sounds simple, right? Not quite, we’re afraid. There are a number of reasons why our airways close, causing the vibration resulting in snoring, such as: alcohol consumption, exhaustion, cold/flu/allergies resulting in a blocked nose, and one of the main factors- smoking.
So, the reason that you’re here- how do you stop/greatly reduce snoring?
- Open the nasal airways and keep them open, this can be done easily by using a nasal dilator, like our one! Our Discreet Snoring Aid is a comfortable nasal dilator that keeps nasal passages open, allowing air to move more freely.
- By keeping your nasal passages clear and open, it will also reduce your likelihood of mouth breathing, which can increase the noise level of snoring.
- Don’t smoke at least 2 hours before bed. Smoking close to sleep can double your chance of snoring as tobacco inflames the lining of your nose and throat.
- Try to sleep on your side rather than your back – easier said than done, we know! At least begin sleeping on your back, and it may become a habit! We are working on something for this problem so watch this space…..
- Maintain a healthy lifestyle and diet, being overweight can increase your chances of snoring as fatty tissues around the neck can squeeze airways and prevent air flowing freely.
- Avoid alcohol before bed. Alcohol relaxes the muscles in our throat, which could encourage the back of the throat to collapse as you breathe, resulting in snoring.
