10 Ways to Minimize Snoring Problem

We must have come across people saying “his snore would even make the thief run away”. Every other family has an individual who has frightening snore. Nevertheless ever given it a serious thought that what are it’s implications and reasons?

Snoring is a weird and annoying disease. It does not only effect the person involved but also traumatizes the one sleeping along side. ‘Snoring’ is a root cause of multiple  factors which needs to be dealt with as early as it can be. Procrastinating or neglect of snoring with reasons as silly as anything must be avoided at first.

How to avoid snoring by following ways:

1) Lose Those Extra  Pounds: Weight lose process takes loads of dedication and sincerity. Weight does not drop instantly. It involves days of exercise and eating “healthy” food more than anything else. Being healthy is more than losing weight. Hitting the treadmill, skipping, taking stairs than elevators are few instant steps that one can take in order to shed out those extra kg’s. Doing cardiovascular exercise like swimming, running are also some of the methods.

2) Change sleeping sides: If not anything else change sides and sleep. It will certainly enable the person to sleep peacefully than earlier and give him a good night sleep without any distractions as such. If sleeping alone, there is no such issue of convincing the partner to switch sides as every individual is comfortable in sleeping the way (s)he does. But improvisation at instances is for the betterment.

3) Clear nasal passage before hitting the sack: Make sure you clear nostrils before going to bed. Snoring is also a major reason for blocked nose that does not let the person breathe or inhale and exhale comfortably. It would sound childish but blowing nose properly not only allows a person with very less chances of snoring but also softens the snoring at once if not doing away with it totally.

4) Avoid alcohol and smoking: Decreasing the consumption of both the factors is quite achievable. One can not expect the person doing drugs and alcohol to quit overnight. There are various products available in the market that can act as an imperative way of abandoning it altogether after a point. Electric cigarettes, nicotine are few of the easily accessible products.

5) Changing pillows also does  wonders in diminishing snoring: Pillow switching is another crucial way of alleviating snoring. Pile up your pillows height by staking two – three pillows together if one pillow does not do good. Sleeping with an equal height pillow lessens the problem of irregularity in breathing leading to no snoring at all.

6) Use Nasal Strips: Nasal strips are easy to do and much in abundance . All that one has to do is apply the nasal strip on the bridge of the nose before sleeping. Nasal strips are good and are an instant remedy as far as snoring is concerned.

7) Keep your bedroom humid: Keep a humidifier in the room or bath before sleeping as it keeps the throat humid leading it no snore.

8) Consult a doctor for the treatment of sinusitis: If suffering from sinusitis one must consult a doctor to get a permanent solution from the perpetual trauma. The treatment recommended can vary from ayurveda to steam to course of particular medication.

9) Sing a Lot: Throat must fully exercise as then the probability of snoring lessens. This may sound weird but if driving to work sing as loud as possible by turning up the volume of the sound system. Singing gives the throat tissues full activity due to which it does not cause any trouble while sleeping with blockage.

10) Dental Appliances: These appliances are also called as’ mandibular’. They do this by attracting your lower jaw. Few devices also enable the tongue from falling back on windpipe.
