Snoring is a common occurrence and usually doesn’t pose a serious health risk, but if it becomes problematic, there are solutions.
What Causes Snoring?
Snoring happens when air passing through your mouth, throat, or nasal passages causes vibrations during sleep. This usually occurs because these areas relax and narrow while you’re asleep. You’re more likely to snore if you’re overweight, a smoker, drink too much alcohol, or sleep on your back. Sometimes, snoring can also be a symptom of sleep apnea, a condition where your airways temporarily close during sleep.
Tips to Reduce Snoring
Simple lifestyle adjustments can help lessen or even stop snoring:
- Lose weight if you’re overweight.
- Sleep on your side—a tennis ball sewn into pajamas or a special pillow can help with this.
- Suggest earplugs for your partner if your snoring disturbs their sleep.
- Avoid smoking.
- Limit alcohol consumption.
- Steer clear of sleeping pills, as they might contribute to snoring.
