Some Ways to Prevent

Snoring

Are you bothered night after night by the "buzzsaw" sound

of a loved one who snores? Perhaps you're the loved one

who is the unfortunate culprit? Don't worry, snoring is

sometimes a harmless occurrence,

although it could also be an indication of a serious health concern. Here, we'll discuss

four useful measures you can take to prevent snoring, and restore a harmonious (and quiet) night's sleep for you

and your family.

Simply...Mouth WateringStaying well-hydrated is an

easy way to prevent snoring. While an individual is

dehydrated, the bodily fluids in the throat and nasal passages can become

particularly tacky, thus increasing the likelihood of

snoring.

One easy way to resolve this is to ingest approximately 11 to

16 cups of water over the course of your normal day,

sourced from both your food and beverages. This is

especially important just before bed,

to make the airway more slippery and avoid the

nighttime ruckus.Lose Weight, Sleep Great

Excess body weight can be another contributor to snoring, in some cases. Naturally, everyone is

susceptible to snoring, both thin and full-bodied people

However, when one is overweight, the additional

mass around the neck constricts the airway, forcing air to move faster across it while also making it more

likely for the tissues to slacken during sleep, resulting

in snoring.

Know When to Call It a NightA major cause of snoring is a lack of proper sleep habits;

i.e. "bedtime mismanagement". Pulling all-nighters, working long hours

on inadequate sleep results in the body being overly

exhausted, causing muscle tissues to become too flaccid.

Once you're asleep, these loose tissues are free to

vibrate, inviting that distinctively unpleasant nasal

"concerto". Sleep requirements vary, but it's generally best for adults to get between 6 to 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep. This

includes the one snoring, and those bothered by the snorer!

SidewinderLying flat on your back,

although very comfortable, may cause the soft tissues of

the throat and tongue to collapse upon the back of your throat, making that dreaded sound. Rather, sleeping on

one side of your body is one really simple remedy, and the

purchase of a body-length pillow that is firm enough to support your weight will enable you to

sleep cozily (and quietly) in this position throughout the night.
