Stop The Snoring

Do you scare away children and lovers when you sleep and you don’t know why? Have you been told that you snore and still choose to believe that people tease about that sort of thing? Have you snored so loud that you woke yourself up at one point? You might have a problem sweetheart. Fortunately, there are some easy and…not so easy natural solutions to decrease and in some cases eliminate your snoring problems easily.

Cut Out Bad Habits

1.     Don’t Eat A Heavy Meal or Drink Alcohol 3 Hours Before Sleeping. Doing either of these activities can cause your throat muscles to relax more than normal, which leads to snoring

2.    Shed Some Weight. Women are beautiful no matter what size they may be however sometimes our bodies have ways of letting us know when our weight has gone from natural to excessive. Snoring is one of those ways. Losing 10% of your body weight if you are overweight can help ease the constricting of the upper airways.

3.    Quit Smoking. Tobacco smoke swells the throat and narrows the airways, because the smoke irritates the mucous membrane.

Get In a Good Position

1.    Prop Yourself Up. Rather than lying flat on your back when you sleep, buy some extra pillows and prop yourself up! It will prevent tissues in your throat from blocking your airways.

2.    Sleep On Your Side. When you sleep on you back it causes your tongue and part of your palate to rest against the back of your throat, blocking you airway, so if possible sleep on your side. If your bed is against a wall or chest, prop your back up against it so you don’t roll over. Or sew a pocket on your pillow and place a tennis ball in it so if you begin to roll on your back during your slumber, you will hit the tennis ball, prompting you to move back into position.

Get Your Nose Together

1.    Fight Nasal Congestion. Take a decongestant or antihistamine  before you go to sleep if you are dealing with a stuff nose.

2.    Nasal Strip It Up.  Buy some nasal strips at your local drug store. They lift open the nostrils and increase airflow.

3.    Gargle with Peppermint Mouthwash. Do this before you go to bed and it shrinks the lining of the nose and throat..
