We all know someone, perhaps ourselves, who snore! We don’t need to spend lots of money to find cures for snoring. Take a look at these home remedies:
-
Exercise - the body becomes toned as well as the breathing muscles thus preventing congestion in the upper respiratory tract. To strengthen lung capacity and improve cardiovascular health, become involved in aerobic exercise. Careful, not to do this just before bed, as the body will be too stimulated to sleep!
-
Weight Loss - Losing a few pounds can bring considerable improvement in snoring as excessive weight around the chest and neck can cause pressure on the muscles that ensure normal breathing.
-
Avoid Sedatives, Alcohol and Smoking - Sedatives depress the central nervous system and relax the muscles and throat tissues excessively. Smoking increase the congestion in the nose and throat causing swelling in the upper air passage of your throat. It also reduces the oxygen to the lungs. Alcohol is to be avoided four hours prior to bedtime.
-
Sleep Posture - Find a pillow that is designed to help reduce airway obstruction and improve sleep posture to provide snoring relief.
A healthy approach towards your life can ease your snoring problems with relative ease.
Do you think home remedies are the solution to sleeping better without snoring?
Let’s take a look at some of those suggestions:
- A tennis ball? Sewing a tennis ball into the back of the pajamas of the person who snores, so as to prevent them from laying on their back? What if the person does not wear pajamas at bedtime? We have a problem!
- Bricks under your bedposts? The idea is to elevate the head of your bed. The nasal airways will be prevented from becoming congested. How will the bed-frame handle that one?
-
Remove your pillow. Sleep with no pillow so there is no chance of a kink developing in your neck. There goes your comfort at night!
While some of these may sound humorous to try - why not purchase a Snore-No-More Pillow which will allow you to sleep on your back (not causing your body to “learn” a new way to sleep), elevate your head to clear the nasal passages (not ruining the bed-frame using bricks!) and enjoy the luxurious comfort of a pillow at night that does prevent kinks developing.
The majority of us are affected by snoring -either because we do it ourselves or lay in bed at night listening to the beautiful strains of someone else snoring! Let’s look at various options to reduce, prevent or possibly stop snoring all together
