WPG Health Update: Five Ways to Stop Snoring
If you snore or sleep next to someone who does, you know it can be a big problem.
Either way, you probably want to know some ways to stop. Here are a few tips to help you. If making lifestyle changes don't help, it may be time to see a sleep specialist. Snoring can be a symptom of sleep apnea, a potential serous condition.
- 1
Stay in good health
Stick to a healthy diet and exercise routine. Snoring is shown to be more common in heavier individuals, so losing weight might help you stop.
- 2
Change your sleep position
Sleeping on your back increases snoring but elevating your head decreases it.
- 3
Use a humidifier
It helps regulate the air in your room, reducing snoring.
- 4
Shower before you go to sleep
Hot water opens your nasal passages, lowering your chances of snoring.
- 5
Get a night guard
It may look silly, but it can work wonders in stopping snoring
