How to silence snoring
Lifestyle changes and home remedies, you can try yourself to help keep your airway open during sleep:
​
1. Avoid alcohol—or don't drink alcohol within three hours of bedtime. This will help prevent your airway muscles from becoming slack while you sleep.
​
2. Do not take medications that relax your muscles in the evening.
​
3. Lose weight if you are overweight or obese. Extra fat tissue in the neck and throat can narrow the airways.
​
4. Try home remedies for nasal obstruction issues. If your nose is stuffy due to mucus, try rinsing your sinuses with saline.
5. If you smoke, quit
​
6. Sleep on your side or elevate your head.
​
7. To learn more about the impact of snoring and sleep apnea on your health see you healthcare practitioner.
