Avoid drinking alcohol within 5 hours of bedtime. Alcohol, along with other sedative drugs, causes the muscles at the back of the throat to relax. When these muscles relax, you are more apt to snore. Stay away from those nightcaps--you may actually sleep more soundly if you do not drink before bed.

Your odds of snoring go up considerably if you have allergies or similar issues that cause nasal congestion. When the nasal passages and other airways get constricted by congestion, airflow is reduced and snoring becomes more likely. One option is to take a decongestant before your bedtime; however, you should only use products that are formulated for nighttime use. Otherwise, it may be difficult to fall asleep.

This makes you open your mouth in compensation and, when you breathe through your mouth, you start snoring. Try using a firmer pillow and one that elevates your head somewhat more than your old pillow.

 

Try to to avoid consuming alcohol right before bed. Alcohol does help you relax; the problem is drinking alcohol right before bed causes the muscles of your airway to relax too much. This over relaxation causes snoring which you may not notice. but, people around you will definitely be disturbed.

 

Avoid eating a big meal before going to bed. Having a stomach that is full will push up on the diaphragm. And this can limit your ability to breath. You should also avoid rich foods, like chocolate, pizza, cookies and cake before bed, they can make your stomach feel full.

If not, you can consult your doctor for a prescription remedy; however, that may be more expensive. These medicines fight swelling, and other things that narrow air passages.

 

Furthermore, if you've ever heard anyone snore, you know how annoying it is to hear. It can be so loud that it interrupts your own sleep, while also signifying health problems for the person who is actually snoring. You can help yourself and the person who snores by using the tips above.
