Many many people suffer from snoring in one way or another. The problem is double-edged. Snoring affects the person directly, as well as any person who sleeps in the same room. Snoring can add unnecessary strain to family and romantic relationships. Whether you are the culprit or it’s your partner, the advice given in this article will really help you.
You may seem to get a good night’s sleep with sleeping pills, but keep in mind that one side effect is an increase in snoring. You may reduce your snoring risk by not using them. Sleeping pills cause all of the muscles in your body to relax. Even the muscles keeping your air passages open will relax and sag, causing the airway to narrow. This will cause you to snore in your sleep.
One way to beat snoring is to pucker up and make “fish faces”. Making these faces provides exercise for the muscles in your face and your throat. To perform the exercise purse your lips and draw your cheeks in. Move the lips like a fish. You should practice this fish-mouth exercise off and on throughout the day.
Visit your obstetrician, if you snore while pregnant. Expectant mothers will often snore, but if you begin to have sleep apnea, you may be restricting the oxygen your baby receives through the night. See a doctor right away to make sure you do not have a life-threatening condition.
Buy a humidifier and have it work in your bedroom each night. Humidifiers increase the amount of moisture in the air. Breathing in such air keep your throat, airway, and nasal passages moisturized. By allowing extra humidity in your bedroom, your snoring will be reduced.
This article probably gave you some ideas on how you can snore less, which will help the people around you sleep better, too. Just be sure to follow what you learned and keep at it, and you should alleviate your snoring in no time.
