by Lisa Monroe

This article explains a few things about snoring, and if you're interested, then this is worth reading, because you can never tell what you don't know.

Almost half of all adults snore at one time or another, and about 25% snore regularly, and to the point where it disrupts their sleep process. Losing sleep because of snoring is a problem for the snorer and the spouse of the snorer. Both can lose sleep and this leads to fatigue, so whether you are the one doing the snoring or the one trying to sleep with a snorer, these tips will help you.

Tip #1 Visit Your Doctor

Snoring is the beginning sign of a health problem. Your condition can be the cause of sleep apnea and if so then you will require a different type of treatment to help you sleep during the night. Sleep apnea
occurs when your body stops breathing during the night, which can be fatal. If you wake up breathing for air; or your spouse tells you that you stop breathing during the night, then it is time to see your physician because that is what is causing your snoring problem.

Tip #2 Watch What You Eat

Many times people begin snoring because of their eating habits. If you notice that you have begun to put on some weight then you are going to have a tendency to snore. Research has shown that people who are heavier will usually acquire this condition; because when you lie on your back the muscles behind your throat will become very relaxed from the weight of your body; which in turn causes the loud noises that make you miserable during the night.

Begin watching what you eat and start exercising. If you can lose some of your excess weight; that may help you solve your snoring problem. Not only will it help you sleep better during the night; you will also avoid any other health problems related to weight.

Tip #3 Breathe Right Strips

These are little Band-Aid looking strips that you put across the top of your nose that will enable your airways to open up. Believe it or not they do work. They look funny because they are sitting right on top of your nose, but they will reduce or even eliminate the sound. They will tend to not work if you are a heavy snorer.

Tip #4 Change Sleeping Positions

Stop sleeping on your back; that may be the reason that you are snoring. If you have trouble sleeping on your side, tie a ball behind your pajama bottoms as this will prevent you from rolling over on your back during the night.

During sleep, our air passages must have room enough to avoid the collision of certain parts involved for breathing. If one is to sleep flat on his back, it is likely that the throat will be constricted in a way that the air passage is obstructed. However, when we sleep on our sideward position, these same passages will be released from possible intrusion of the dangling tissues. Additionally, the likelihood that the jaw will drop to cause obstruction will be lessened.

Snoring has a tendency to get worse with age, so regardless of the tips you may follow, the snoring may continue. Alcohol and cigarettes also contribute snoring, so use with moderation before going to bed.
Establish a good sleeping pattern- Sleeping at the same time every night can help induce a more-or-less fixed sleeping pattern. This does not cure snore but it can help in making the rest you want, even when you snore so loudly at night. Once your body get used to the same habit each night, simple grunts and frequent noises coming from your own mouth would no longer cause you disturbances, enough to keep you awake all night.
