Snoring is a very disturbing habit that everyone wishes to stop. These are practices that should be practiced at home to solve the condition in the long run. Most of these practices have been proved to work. In very severe cases maybe due to the structure of the anatomy, corrective surgery is recommended to help treat snoring. However, this is in very rare cases.

How to stop snoring

Avoid sleeping on the back

Sleeping on the back is the main cause of snoring. Try and experiment with different sleeping positions that do not cause pressure on the throat or affect breathing when sleeping. You will eventually find a comfortable sleeping position that is right for you and eventually stops snoring.

Manage your weight

Sometimes snoring is caused by being overweight or obese. Such people automatically
stop snoring once they try and manage their weight back to normal.

People who are overweight may have interrupted breathing during sleep due to fat deposition around the neck. Once this fat is lost, breathing during sleep is restored back to normal, and this stops snoring.

Reduce alcohol intake

Excessive consumption of alcohol is likely to cause snoring. People who take alcohol before sleep are more likely to snore due to the effect of alcohol on throat muscles. To stop snoring, it is advisable to reduce alcohol intake and stop alcohol intake right before sleeping.

Try a different pillow

It is surprising to know that there are specific pillows that are likely to make people snore more. For instance pillows with allergens may lead to more snoring due to the effect of allergens. To stop snoring, you can try and use allergen free pillows and see if the problem stops.

Treat nasal problems

Snoring may be caused by nasal problems that affect air movement during sleep. To stop snoring, it is important first to treat any nasal problems that may be causing the condition. Treating these nasal problems is likely to stop the problem of snoring.

Get enough sleep

People who do not get enough sleep are likely to snore once they sleep. This is because they go into a deep sleep, and this makes the throat muscles to relax in the wrong way. To make sure you stop snoring, make sure you get enough sleep all the time to avoid sleep overload that will eventually cause snoring.
