Now that we understand some of the common causes of snoring, let’s discuss some snoring solutions that can help reduce or eliminate snoring: 1. Change sleep position: Sleeping on your side instead of your back can help prevent the tongue and soft tissues in the throat from collapsing and obstructing the airways. You can try using a body pillow or sleep wedge to help keep you in the side-sleeping position. 2. Lose weight: If you are overweight or obese, losing weight can help reduce the narrowing of the airways and lessen the severity of snoring. 3. Avoid alcohol and sedatives: Avoiding alcohol and sedatives before bed can help prevent the relaxation of the muscles in the throat that contribute to snoring.
