What are some ways to avoid snoring?
• Lose weight. Even being 20 percent over your ideal weight can cause snoring. • Avoid alcohol before going to bed. Alcohol relaxes the body even more than usual, so you’ll snore more. • Avoid taking sedatives. Anything that relaxes the tissues around the head and neck will make snoring worse. • Stop smoking. Smoking causes mucous membranes to swell, which narrows the air passages. • Sleep on your side. • Consider getting rid of your pillow. It only elevates your snoring levels.
