How To Sleep Easy Without Troublesome Snoring
Everyone needs to sleep around 7 or 8 hours a night to be alert the next day and to maintain good health. However, it is very important that this sleep time be restful. If you snore or share a bed with someone who does, this is easier said than done. Read on for some suggested activities to help you stop snoring.
Stay away from cigarettes if you tend to snore. Smoking causes the throat tissues to become irritated, and this can lead to a swelling of your throat. One of the major causes of snoring is a swollen throat.
Make sure that your nasal passages remain open so that snoring can be avoided. A nose that is clogged or constricted can be a cause of snoring. Use humidifiers, vapor rubs, steam showers or neti pots to clear the nose when you have a cold. Nasal strips open up the nasal passageways, allowing unimpeded breathing through the nose.
If you don’t want to snore, drink plenty of water and other fluids. When you are suffering from dehydration your nasal secretions become thicker and clog up your nose which leads to snoring. Try to drink at least ten cups of water every day, to reduce your chances of snoring at night.
Prop your head up so you can sleep easily instead of snoring. The easiest way to elevate your head is to use a thick pillow. Also, you can stack two thinner pillows atop one another. This will keep your head more upright, which will increase your airflow, and can help reduce or prevent snoring.
As mentioned earlier, many people are frustrated and irritated by snoring. Too many people are not aware of the solutions available for their snoring problems. Try applying this advice to live a life without snoring.
