3 Stop Snoring Remedies and Aids That Work

Snorers don't get a proper night's sleep because their snoring interferes with the proper sleep cycle. But, then again, their sleeping partners don't sleep well either and so their health is affected as well.

Too many times, the outcome is that partners sleep in separate rooms - which isn't an ideal state in a marriage or relationship -- or, even worse, split up and / or divorce because of snoring.

So you can see that, whether you're a snorer or the partner of one, it's in both your interests to find a snoring remedy that works.

And you can choose from normal mainstream treatment, anti snoring devices, natural snoring remedies, and more. You just have to become familiar with their pro's and con's.

In this short article I now discuss three natural remedies that can work very well if they are followed exactly, plus, other stop snoring remedies that some people find useful...

Here are 3 things you need to do to give you the best chance of giving snoring the boot:-

1. Lose the Fat!

Obese people are at a higher risk of snoring. Why? Simple. Because excess fat, particularly around your neck, puts pressure on the airways and so restricts them. This results in turbulence when you breathe, causing the soft tissue to vibrate, producing the snoring sounds we all know and love!

2. A Healthy Lifestyle

This is important, not just as a snoring remedy, but also as an overall health improvement plan. Ensure you only eat healthy, balanced meals.

Try to avoid alcohol. And, of course, start a daily exercise program and stick with it.

3. Avoid Meals and Alcohol Before Bedtime

Eating just before going to bed is a bad idea for a potential snorer. This is because of the pressure that the ingested food puts on your diaphragm, causing it too have to work harder, thus causing snoring.

Aim to have your last meal at least 3 hours before you go to bed, to give your food time to digest.

If you do decide to reduce alcohol rather than avoid it altogether, make sure you don't drink prior to going to bed at night.

Alcohol can depress your central nervous system, resulting in the muscles in your jaw and throat becoming relaxed and so blocking your airways. This results in snoring.

The above stop snoring remedies will work if you stick to them religiously.

There are other ways to stop snoring at night and these can be used in conjunction with the three snoring remedies discussed above for extra assurance...so here are even more stop snoring remedies that work for many snoring victims:-

1. Stop Snoring Aids

Many sufferers find that using stop snoring devices can be effective. These are things like snore pillows, chin straps, nasal strips, and dental mouthpieces, etc. These can be purchased from specialist shops, pharmacies and dentists, but may be bought online as well (see Amazon products below).

2. Change Your Sleeping Position

One of the snoring remedies that can work well, if you can do it, is to change the position you tend to sleep in, especially where you sleep on your back. You can get special pillows that force you to sleep on your side.

Or you can get a device that fastens around you middle that does the same. You would need these types of devices because you can't control your position whilst you're asleep.

3. Steam Vaporizers

If you suffer from long term nasal congestion, or nasal allergies, which cause your snoring, you can utilize a steam vaporizer. This helps to open your airways up and so reduce your snoring.

The remedies I have summarized above can help you achieve your objective of stopping snoring. And I think you'd agree that since snoring affects everybody, not just the snorer, it is a worthy objective.

The key thing is to get familiar with the causes of snoring and the range of treatment options and anti snoring aids available to you. In this way you can achieve the best result for your particular circumstances.
