From gentle snuffles to loud rasps and snorts, snoring is common, and quitting snoring is also possible. An estimated 45 percent of adults snore occasionally, while 25 percent snore regularly. You may be among the 45% of adults who snore at least occasionally or you likely know someone who does. But why do people snore? Snoring could be a function of so many factors that causes our upper airway to become too narrow for enough air to travel to the lungs. When this happens the surrounding tissue vibrates and results in sounds we recognize to snore. The narrower your airway becomes, the greater the vibration and the louder the snores.

Asides from snoring being a form of disruption and discomfort to your friends or your partner, snoring can equally be annoying and can also affect how you sleep. It reduces the quality of your sleep, could result in sleep apnea, or lead to chronic sleep deprivation.

There are so many stop-snoring aids that are sold in the market today but there’s no full proof of the efficacy of these over-the-counter sprays and pills.

However, the good news is there are natural snoring remedies that can help. Instead of going through the route of taking pills and sprays, you can try these natural solutions and lifestyle changes, which may help you stop snoring.

Change your sleeping position
Sleeping on your back can cause your airways to become blocked or narrowed. If you notice that you snore while sleeping on your back it is time to switch up your sleeping position. Sleeping on your side is usually recommended. Old habits die hard so the odds are that as you drift deeper into sleep you’d roll unto your back again. The fix? Invest in a body pillow. A body pillow will help you maintain sleeping on your side.

Change your mattress
Perhaps this is one of the quickest ways to stop snoring, investing in the right mattress can make a whole difference not only in getting enough rest but to sleeping snore-free. People who snore may find relief by primarily sleeping on their side, which opens up breathing passages and promotes airflow better than the back sleeping position. This switch may necessitate a mattress that provides sufficient cushioning and contouring for side sleepers. With a whooping 5year warranty, the Winco Grandeur is the ideal choice to solve this problem. Amongst its features is that it’s long-lasting and offers long-term support and comfort on the body which will help reduce snoring.

Alternatively, The Winco elegant is also a suitable choice, it is a high density, resilient, luxury mattress with its unique pocketed spring features. It is tailored to support your posture and distribute pressure evenly for better blood circulation. Repulsive to perspiration, allergens and provides amplified comfort. It is noteworthy that as the foam contours shape your body for support, the springs and coils help improve your body alignment, keeping your back and shoulders aligned to encourage your breathing passages to remain open and clear, as a result, you become more relaxed and this will limit snoring.

Quit smoking and avoid alcohol
If you drink alcohol habitually, especially before bed that might be the cause of your snoring. Drinking alcohol a couple of hours before you go to bed relaxes your throat muscles, causing you to snore. Regular smokers are also likely to snore. Smoking irritates your throat tissues leading to inflammation that results in snores.

Exercise to prevent weak tongue and throat muscles. You snore when your tongue and throat muscles are too relaxed. Strengthening them would help you stop. There are a couple of exercises which could help you strengthen you do this. A great and easy hack to get some throat exercise in is singing. So throw yourself a concert in the shower or your car. Your partner or roommates might find it annoying but it’ll be less annoying than your snoring. To work out your tongue, place the tip of your tongue behind the top of your teeth and slide it back and forth for a couple of minutes a day.

Change Your Pillows
Investing in a new pillow is one sure way of reducing snoring. Most Nigerians are oblivious of the fact that allergens in their bedroom and in their pillow may contribute to snoring. Come to thinks of it, when did you last dust the overhead ceiling fan? Replace your pillows? Dust mites accumulate in pillows and can cause allergic reactions that can lead to snoring.

Put your pillows in the air fluff cycle once every couple of weeks and replace them every six months to keep dust mites and allergens to a minimum. However, for your change in pillows, go for the Winco Memory pillow. Because of its Viscoelastic Effect, the Memory pillow is a soft pillow that effectively creates a matrix through which air can move freely. The foam has an open-cell structure that matches pressure against it with the capability of springing back to its original shape almost immediately alleviating pains and aches in the sleeper’s neck. These special pillows are designed to prevent snoring because it is built to prop up your head, which fixes nasal issues.

The bottom line
Occasional snoring can be annoying, but these few tried-and-true tips may help you get through the night with more ease. Some are incredibly simple and fast-acting (say, changing sleep position) while others take a bit more dedication before you’ll notice results. Try a few, perhaps while monitoring your snoring status with an app.
