The Best Snoring Remedy

By Jason McDrarren

Have you ever laid down for a well-deserved night of sleep only to be awakened by snoring from the other side of the bed? It is situations like these that make us wish we had a snoring remedy. No one likes to listen to snoring every night.

Snoring isn't just annoying for other people. It is also an unhealthy activity for anyone. It affects a person's respiration and quality of sleep. So seeking a snoring remedy is a very good idea.

Not getting enough sleep at night is hard on the body. Snoring, too, is an unhealthy problem even if the snorer doesn't realize he or she is snoring.

Many people that snore don't really notice their own snoring. Some might not even realize they snore. But everyone else in the house does know and it is often their sleep that is disturbed. But the snorer suffers from a lower quality of sleep too and should seek a snoring remedy anyway.

Most stores will have many a snoring remedy to choose from. Most of these products are reasonable priced and might solve your problem.

If you have been snoring all your life then it could be a good idea to see a doctor. Although it isn't well known, snoring is a common byproduct of sleep apnea. Your doctor can help to assess the severity of your problem and recommend appropriate treatments.

Sleep apnea occurs when a person actually stops breathing for a period of time while sleeping. Eventually, the person begins to gasp for air so they dont' suffocate. Many people with sleep apnea don't realize they have it. However, if you snore on a regular basis then you might be suffering from it and should visit your doctor right away to find out more.

Here are some snoring remedies:

1. nose tape

2. try a harder pillow

3. try dental/mouth appliances

4. acupuncture might help

5. hypnotism often helps

Snoring causes are not the same for everyone. Some people snore because they smoke cigarettes on a regular basis. Other people snore because they drink to much alcohol. Allergies and head colds can result in snoring too. Perhaps the most common cause of snoring is obesity. Being overweight often causes snoring. This is because there is more skin and fat around the throat and neck, which makes it more difficult to keep the airways adequately opened at night. If you are an overweight snorer then the best snoring remedy consists of a change in your lifestyle. You might need to take time to exercise a little each day. You might also want to modify your diet. If you aren't sure how your eating habits stack up, then keep a food journal for a week.

Other people's snoring is a result of the position in which they sleep. Sleeping on the back will often result in snoring. Also sleeping with an open mouth can lead to snoring. There are many ways to keep your mouth shut while you sleep. Try sleeping on your side instead of your back. Or if you like, you can try one of the dental devices that will keep your mouth closed while you sleep.

If you are congested then taking a hot shower before bed might help. An air purifier can help with allergies too.

Most people will be helped by the most common snoring remedy. However, there will be those that snore for other reasons. You might have to experiment a little to find your perfect snoring remedy.

Remember to visit your doctor before trying a new snoring remedy. Your doctor will be able to give you some good advice on snoring. - 26706
