While we all want to sleep peacefully, sharing a bed with someone who snores can seem like a nightmare. Unfortunately, most people who snore don’t know it, so you may have to tell them personally.
What is snoring?
According health line“Snoring occurs when air flows through your throat as you breathe while you sleep. “This causes the relaxed tissues of the throat to vibrate, creating harsh and often irritating sounds.”
Tips to silence snoring
Whether it’s you or someone you know who snores loudly, there are several tips and tricks to reduce the noise. Although there are surgical and non-surgical options to treat snoring, the good news is that simple lifestyle changes can often help.
Sleeping on your side can improve airflow and significantly reduce snoring. Changing your sleeping position can help you (or your partner) sleep more soundly.
Raising the head of the bed can open the airways in your throat and reduce snoring. You can use extra pillows or bed risers to achieve this.
Avoid alcohol before bed as it relaxes your throat muscles, which can make snoring worse. Limiting alcohol consumption before bed could alleviate the problem.
Be sure to maintain a healthy weight, as the extra tissue in your throat caused by being overweight can contribute to snoring. Maintaining a balanced body weight can help.
Lack of sleep can increase the risk of snoring. health line suggests that “lack of sleep can cause your throat muscles to relax, making you more susceptible to airway obstruction.” Aim for 7 to 8 hours of sleep each night.
By incorporating these simple lifestyle changes, both you and your partner (or sibling) will be able to enjoy the restful sleep you deserve.
