Snoring is a very common problem and happens when the muscles in the tongue and
throat are relaxed during sleep. As you breathe in it causes these muscles to
vibrate and produces the snoring sound.
There are many types of snoring treatment available some of which are natural
and others involve surgery.
Obesity is known to induce snoring. overweight people are also more likely
to snore as they have more muscle and tissue around the neck and throat. Some
of this extra muscle could hinder the flow of air and so the heavier the person
the more prone he or she is to snore loudly.
Thus, to prevent the possibility of snoring at night, you're advised from putting
on too much weight. Not only will you escape from major health problems such
as coronary diseases, you can also save yourself from disturbing your partner's
sleep.
Try and do some exercise each day, you don't have to go down to the gym or
do excessive workouts but just 20 minutes walking several times a week can make
a big difference to your wellbeing. Over time your muscles will strengthen and
your breathing will improve.
You could even consider joining a yoga class or if you enjoy sport take up
tennis or golf. You will have more energy and feel more relaxed and ready for
sleep at bedtime.
However substances that induce relaxation can also trigger snoring. Don't drink
alcohol or take tranquilisers just before going to bed
as not only will they make your breathing slow but also cause you to snore.
If the muscles in the throat are to relaxed it can cause them to move about
more easily resulting in muscle vibration and snoring.
Don't eat a full meal to late at night as this causes the food to sit in your
stomach. As a result you will feel heavy and a pressure on your diaphram. This
pressure can cause you to snore.
This can't always be avoided if you are home late from work or a night out,
try and have a light snack instead to satisfy your hunger, or if you do have
a big meal try and stay up about an hour later to allow the food to digest before
going to bed.
Sleeping on your back can make matters worse as gravity helps the toungue muscles
to fall back down the throat causing you to snore. Stitching tennis balls on
the back of your pyjama top isn't the best snoring treatment as you will probably
keep waking up every time you move onto your back resulting in poor sleep.
You will probably also feel pain from the tennis balls digging into your back!!
Instead try elevating your bed by 30 degrees since this height is known to
lessen collapse of the tissues in the throat.
