  1. Tips and Remedies to Stop Snoring Why do people snore? It occurs when air flows through your throat when you breathe in your sleep. This irritates the calm tissues in your throat to vibrate and cause harsh, irritating snoring sounds. Snoring may interrupt your sleep or that of your partner. Even if it’s not troubling you too much, it’s not a condition to disregard. In fact, snoring may be a sign of a solemn health condition, including: • obstructive sleep apnea (blocked airways) • obesity • an issue with the structure of your mouth, nose, or throat • sleep deficiency

  2. In other cases, snoring may begin simply by sleeping on your back or drinking alcohol too late in the night. Here are a few tips to help you stop snoring in Seattle: 1. Lose weight if you are overweight Obesity is one of the biggest causes of snoring, hence losing your weight will help you to reduce the amount of tissue in the throat that might be causing your snoring. Make sure that you eat a properly planned diet and take control of your overall calorie intake. You should also do regular exercise daily and can also consider having a nutritionist or dietician. 2. Sleep on your side Sleeping on your back sometimes causes the tongue to move to the back of the throat, which partly blocks airflow through your throat. Sleeping on your side may be all you need to do to allow air to flow easily and reduce or stop your snoring.

  3. 3. Raise the head of your bed Uplifting the head of your bed by four inches may help decrease your snoring by keeping your airways open. 4. Use nasal strips or an external nasal dilator Stick-on nasal strips can be positioned on the bridge of the nose to help grow the space in the nasal passage. This can make your breathing more effective and reduce or eliminate your snoring. You could also try a nasal dilator, which is a solidified epoxy resin strip that’s applied on top of the nose across the nostrils. This can decrease airflow confrontation, making it easier to breathe. This is one of the best snoring treatments that doesn’t involve surgery.

  4. 5. Treat chronic allergies Allergies can lessen airflow through your nose, which forces you to breathe over your mouth. This increases the likelihood that you’ll snore. Talk to your doctor about what kind of over-the-counter or prescription allergy medications may improve your condition. 6. Limit or avoid alcohol before bed Try not to consume alcohol for at least two hours leading up to your bedtime. Alcohol can relax the throat muscles, causing snoring.
