Lose weight. Losing even a little bit of
weight can reduce fatty tissue in the back
of the throat and decrease or even stop
snoring.
Exercise can also help to stop snoring.
Working out to tone your arms, legs, and
abs, for example, also leads to toning the
muscles in your throat, which in turn can
lead to less snoring.
Quit smoking. If you smoke, your chances
of snoring are high. Smoking causes
airways to be blocked by irritating the
membranes in the nose and throat.
Avoid alcohol, sleeping pills, and
sedatives, especially before bedtime,
because they relax the muscles in the
throat and interfere with breathing. Talk to
your doctor about any prescription
medications you’re taking, as some
encourage a deeper level of sleep which can
make snoring worse.
Establish regular sleep patterns. Create a

bedtime ritual with your partner and stick
to it. Hitting the sack in a routine way
together can help you sleep better and Bedtime remedies to help you stop snoring
Clear nasal passages. Having a stuffy nose
makes inhalation difficult and creates a
vacuum in your throat, which in turn leads
to snoring. You can do it naturally with a
Neti pot or try nasal decongestants or
nasal strips to help you breathe more easily
while sleeping.
Keep bedroom air moist with a humidifier.
Dry air can irritate membranes in the nose
and throat.
Reposition. Elevating your head four inches
may ease breathing and encourage your
tongue and jaw to move forward. There are
specially designed pillows available to help
prevent snoring by making sure your neck
muscles are not crimped.
Avoid caffeine and heavy meals within two
hours of going to bed, especially dairy
products and soymilk.
Sleep on your side. Avoid sleeping on your
back, as gravity makes it more likely for
your tongue and soft tissues to drop and
obstruct your airway.
