Does anyone know of any ways to stop snoring?

Posted by admin on January 12 2010 6 Commented


Lifestyle changes
All the usual vices worsen snoring: alcohol, smoking, overeating, under exercising, caffeine. What did you expect?!

Sleep Posture Correction
Many of us snore especially loudly when we sleep on our back. Various pillows and strap-on devices are available to get you unsupine.

Homeopathic remedies
Some people have had success with natural remedies available in health food stores and over the Net.

Throat sprays
These coat the soft tissues of the throat with lubricating oils, allowing the air to move more freely and lessening the noisy vibration.

Nasal dilation
These include adhesive strips which hold open the airways of your nose, plastic devices to hold open your nostrils, and nasal sprays which reduce congestion or the swelling of nasal tissues.

Mouth breathing correction
Many people would snore less if they would just learn to breathe through their nose. This page lists products that will shut your mouth…

Mouthpiece devices
Devices are available — some custom-fitted by your dentist — which pull your lower jaw or tongue forward, thereby creating enough space in the throat to prevent breathing obstruction.

CPAP (Continuous Positive Airways Pressure)
Machinery which blows air through your nose via a mask, preventing disruption of breathing and eliminating snoring.

Palatal inserts
The approach here is to reduce the vibration of your throat tissues by stiffening them with permanent (but reversible) inserts of polyester material.

Palate stiffening by scarring
You can achieve palate stiffening and reduce noisy vibrations by injecting a scarring solution (injection snoreplasty) or surgically by creating scarring with laser or scalpel.

Radiofrequency Tissue Reduction: Somnoplasty and Coblation
Radiofrequency Tissue Reduction (RFTR) consists of piercing the tongue, throat or soft palate with a needle connected to a radio frequency generator. Inner tissues shrink, but outer tissues, which contain your taste buds, are left intact.

Surgery
Various surgical procedures with names like uvulopalatoplasty are available which remove or shrink palate and throat tissue, making it easier for you to breathe.

    at the drug store they sell breathe right strips and throat spray for snoring. also, i have heard that if you sleep on an incline and line up your trachea and mouth that this will help diminish snoring. losing weight can also help. good luck! my best advice however is to tell your bed partner to get earplugs…that what i did, my husband snores up a storm!

    Tape your mouth shut. Or use a nasal strip because you snore like my grandfather.

    If u tried everything and nothing seemed to work,
    try going to the doctor to get checked for sleep apnea.
    If your partner notices that you stop breathing for a few seconds through the night. GO!
    Good Luck!

    If it’s you that’s snoring then do what those other people said. But if it’s someone else you could could try pinching their nose.
