How to Stop Snoring
It might not be easy to admit you snore. And while the problem may not prevent you from getting a good night's sleep, it can keep your significant other awake. In fact, it could downright drive another person crazy.If you snore, it could be due to a number of reasons. Some people get congested at night, especially during allergy season. Others may have a more serious medical condition. One method of treating the problem could be to find ways to keep the nasal passages clear at night. That could mean using a menthol inhaler or placing a drop of peppermint essential oil on a pillow.
The first thing you need to do if you snore is identify the reasons behind it. Once you do that, you will have a lot more success in finding a way to eliminate the problem.
Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
- 1Identify some reasons you might be snoring. Snoring occurs when your nasal passages narrow or become blocked. This can happen for a variety of reasons, including from congestion, colds, allergies, if you are overweight or if you have sleep apnea. Things such as alcohol and use of muscle relaxers or other medications that promote drowsiness can lead to snoring. You might snore if you have physical traits such as a deviated septum or large tonsils, if you have asthma or if you sleep on your back.
- 2See a doctor to find the exact cause. Even though most cases of snoring can be easily explained, some snoring can indicate a more serious medical problem that may need treatment. These could include sleep apnea or asthma.
A doctor will help you find the cause and provide you with some solutions. For example, if you have a deviated septum, your doctor may recommend corrective surgery. If you need help losing weight, your doctor could provide you with some helpful advice.
Doctors are trained to assist you in finding a cause for the things that ail you. If your snoring is prolonged or severe, it can affect your health by interrupting your sleep patterns. Seeing a doctor means taking a positive step toward assisting your health. - 3Get rid of congestion. Even if you determine that your snoring is caused by something other than congestion, keeping your nasal passages as clear as possible will help. You can do this in a number of ways.
Take a decongestant. There are many choices available, including herbal or homeopathic remedies or others that can be purchased at the drugstore. Use a menthol inhaler; menthol works for several hours. Try placing a few drops of essential oils--such as peppermint, rosemary and tea tree--on your pillow. - 4Control your allergies to decrease your chances of snoring. Take over-the-counter medicine to control them, get a prescription from your doctor or use natural remedies. Vitamin C, green tea, grape seed extract and stinging nettle are a few possible natural allergy medications you could try.
- 5Control your weight. Being overweight is another common cause for snoring. If you keep your weight down or lose weight, that may help eliminate the snoring. You can choose to lose weight by any method that will work for you. Just remember that slow, gradual weight loss usually lasts longer.
