If you just can’t take it anymore, the sound of your own snoring, or the ritual kicking, pinching, shoving and being told to “Roll Over” and “SHHHSH”; or should y ou have the misfortune of struggling to get a good night sleep because e next to someone who snores, then these five tips may benefit you greatly.

Snoring can have a huge impact on your life and the relationships in it. It also presents significant health issues. These five tips on snoring treatments are a good place to start reducing the effect it has on your life.

TIP #1- Make some sleeping position adjustments.

Sleep on you side or front. This can be challenging as it’s hard to control your sleeping position when you are asleep! However, an old trick reportedly works quite well. By sewing a walnut, table tennis ball or similar size object into the back of a shirt you condition yourself not to roll over in the night. To do so hurts. This works much the same as a spouse elbowing you and can be quite effective if you don’t remove your shirt in the middle of the night.

TIP #2 - Make some dietary adjustments.

Although this will likely not ever cure all the problem, it is a good place to start making changes. What you’re eating and drinking affect this condition because certain intolerances to food cause reactions in the body. For example, if you have an intolerance to dairy produce you tend to produce a lot of mucus, while lying down this collects and blocks breathing passages causing heavy breathing and subsequent snoring. Alcohol can be a major factor too as it relaxes the muscles too much which triggers snoring…limit intake or eliminate all together.

TIP #3 - Try nasal strips.

These can be quite effective and work by applying pressure at the bridge of the nose thus opening the air passage allowing freer breathing. It is a band-aid solution however and doesn’t address underlying health issues should there be any.

TIP #4 - Reduce your weight.Carrying extra pounds another can be another contributing factor. Excess weight in the neck and chest will put undo pressure on the breathing passage.

TIP #5 - Exercises. Saving the best for last. Breathing exercises in combination with exercising the muscles in the throat and tongue have been known to completely cure snoring for some people.
