  Snoring is one of those things that can be a problem for you and the people around you. If you want to stop snoring, it is important to consider the cause and severity of your snoring. Identifying the cause can help you choose the right cure. It makes sense to try some simple non-invasive treatments first to see if they'll reduce or prevent your snoring. Here are some of those non-invasive tips to stop the snoring: • sleep on your side - there's a higher chance of snoring if you lie on your back, and sleeping on your stomach will kill your neck. • keep a regular sleep schedule - and make sure you get enough sleep, many people snore only when they are overly tired • elevate your head when sleeping - you can increase the angle of your bed by raising the head of the bed or use pillows to raise your upper body, don't just raise your head that'll put more pressure on your air way and have the opposite effect. • avoid alcohol and tranquillizers - they basically cause the muscles of your jaw and throat to relax, increasing your changes of snoring. • Treat your allergies - if your nose is stuffy it may force you to breathe through your mouth when sleeping. If your nose is stuffed I recommend using a neti pot, the are incredibly effective, natural and pretty cheap to. • buy a mouth guard - mouth guards will keep your jaw muscles from relaxing too much, and prevent snoring. It may not be too attractive to your significant other but it'll help you both get some sleep! :) • Lose weight - when you're heavier the extra weight puts pressure on your airway, causing snoring. • if you smoke try to stop - smoking damages your respiratory system, which doesn't help in the snoring department Excessive snoring may also mean you have a more serious problem like sleep apnea. If you wake up with a headache, are extremely tired during the day, don't feel refreshed when you wake up, have trouble concentrating or a very low attention span, or wake up during the night choking and gasping for breath you should probably see a doctor. Mild snoring that isn't related to sleep apnea responds well to home remedies. Finding a cure for your snoring problem can result in an improved quality of life for you and your loved ones. An effective and pretty simple solution is doing throat exercises, here's a website with interesting information on the snoring exercises: http://www.thestopsnoringexerciseprogram.com/?hop=4safetynow Happy New Year!
