July 1, 2012 - PRLog -- Snoring disrupts your sleep pattern and can make you feel fatigued and highly irritable during the day. Your partner also has to endure the noise which deprives them of a goodnight sleep leaving them fatigued and irritable during the day as well. The lack of quality sleep can also cause more serious health conditions which is why one should seek remedies. If one's snoring is not severe or frequent they can try out home remedies for snoring which are simple inexpensive and which will enable them and their families to enjoy their sleep once more.

Since snoring is caused by several factors not all home remedies for snoring will work on a person. Establishing what causes snoring in an individual will help them select the most appropriate remedy. Some of the causes of snoring include;

• Drinking alcohol and smoking
• Blocked airways
• Being overweight
• One's posture as they sleep

Below are home remedies for snoring for each case.

Home remedies for snoring where snoring is caused or intensified by one's lifestyle include reducing alcohol intake quitting smoking and losing weight. These three actions have been found to significantly reduce the frequency and amount of snoring. Exercising the throat muscles by singing, pronouncing vowels and other throat exercises as well as general exercise also helps reduce snoring.

Home remedies for snoring in cases where blocked airways are the problem include using nasal strips or decongestants. These help clear the nasal passage and help you breathe more easily therefore reducing snoring. Using a humidifier at night also helps clear a stuffed nose and reduces snoring.

Home remedies for snoring where the sleeping posture is the problem include sleeping on one's side instead of sleeping on the back. When a person sleeps on their back the tongue and soft tissues fall to the back of the throat obstructing breathing and this causes the person to snore. By sleeping on their side one avoids this obstruction and this reduces snoring. One might find it hard to make this change especially if they have always slept on their back. If you find it hard to avoid sleeping on your back you can use the "tennis ball trick". Attach a tennis ball to your pajama top, this will make it uncomfortable to sleep on your back making it easier to sleep on your side. After you have become accustomed to sleeping on your side you can discontinue using the tennis ball.

Elevating your head at least four inches using a specially designed pillow also helps reduce snoring. The pillow helps keep your air passages open and by so doing reduces snoring. Instead of buying the special pillow you can just add an extra pillow for the same results. On the other hand using no pillows at all has also been found to help avoid obstruction of the airways and reduces snoring.

Finally, avoiding heavy meals or sleeping pills just before going to bed is also among home remedies for snoring. Heavy meals and sleeping pills induce deep sleep and you are more likely to snore when you are deep asleep.
