A Woman's Suggestions For Putting An End To Snoring

By Maya Owens


There are heavy snorers for whom snoring is a severe problem. For most of the rest of us snoring is an occasional disturbance. Wouldn't it be great if you could make the snoring end? With a few small changes to your bedtime routine you can stop the snoring.

One important way to stop snoring, as well as help you improve the way you breath is to focus on not breathing through your mouth. When you breath through your mouth the jaw lowers and the tongue pulls in. If you try to change your breathing every time you catch yourself mouth breathing, you can train yourself to breath better.

The position you lay in when you sleep can have a lot to do with your snoring. If you make it so you sleep on you side instead of your back it will make snoring not as frequent. Using pillows you can place one behind your back and the other between your legs to be comfortable and remain on your side. Some people have tried a tennis ball sewn to the pajamas to make them turn back over when they roll onto their backs.

If your nose and throat are moist it can help reduce snoring. Nose or throat sprays can be useful. A humidifier will keep the air you breath moist while you sleep.

A useful product for snoring is a nasal strip. These strips come in adult and child sizes and adhere to the outside of the nose. The strips lift and open the nasal passages to make breathing easier.

If you are very tired when you go to sleep it is more likely that you will snore. Be sure to get enough sleep to eliminate the exhausted snoring. Having a set sleep schedule can be very effective.

If you are a smoker the damage being done to your airways will contribute to snoring. Smokers end up with inflammation which restricts airflow and promotes snoring. Sleep apnea is also a risk of smoking.

Being overweight also affects your snoring. Drinking alcohol relaxes the airways also. When a person is overweight there is more flesh to flap around and get in the way of air flow. Losing weight may actually eliminate the snoring.
