Things You Can Do To Help You Stop Snoring

Snoring is common and usually isn’t a serious health concern, but if it becomes bothersome, there are ways to address it.

Causes of Snoring

Snoring happens when parts of your mouth, throat, or nasal passages vibrate as air moves through them during sleep.

This typically occurs because these areas relax and narrow while you sleep.

You’re more likely to snore if you:

  • Are overweight
  • Smoke
  • Drink too much alcohol
  • Sleep on your back

In some cases, snoring may be related to conditions like sleep apnea, where your airways temporarily close during sleep.

Tips to Reduce Snoring

Simple lifestyle changes can help reduce or eliminate snoring:

  • Try to lose weight if you’re overweight.
  • Sleep on your side. You can use a tennis ball sewn into your pajamas or a special pillow to encourage side sleeping.
  • Suggest that your partner use earplugs if your snoring disturbs their sleep.
  • Avoid smoking.
  • Limit alcohol intake.
  • Avoid sleeping pills, as they may contribute to snoring.
