Six Ways To Stop Snoring

Read on for the six treatments that can give you- as well as your partner- a good night’s rest!

A wheezing whistle or even a thunderous roar, snoring comes in varying sounds and manners, all of which prove to be irritating. A third of women in the UK and almost half of the men there suffer from snoring. Their partners suffer, too, with broken sleep caused by the incessant noise of their partner’s snoring.

Snoring is mainly caused by a turbulent airflow which causes the tissues in our mouth to vibrate. The vibration creates a sound, usually accompanied by grunting and snorting, and often gets worse with age.

Cutting down on alcohol, exercising and losing weight, and quitting smoking can help but currently, there is no single solution to stopping snoring. Read on for six treatments that you can probably try and, hopefully, cure your snoring problem.

Nasal strips and dilators

They are sticky plasters that you can place on your nostrils to help them open up. These are plastic devices that prevent the nostrils from collapsing and allows more air to enter.

Best for those who are snoring mildly caused by their blocked nose

Try the Breathing Relief Nasal Dilator from breathingrelief.com for only £20

Rinses and sprays

Designed to sooth inflammation, these remedies reduce stuffiness and/or clear up the nasal passages. Some rinse and sprays target the throat while others the tissues of the nose.

Best for those snoring caused by allergic rhinitis or nasal congestion

Try the Nytol Anti-Snoring Spray, which contains seaweed-based carrageenan and lubricating oils. Try them at Boots for only £12.99

Mouth Shields

These are molded devices fitted inside the mouth to keep it shut while we sleep.

Best for those who have a problem snoring when they sleep with their mouth open

Try Somni Snore Guard for only £31, from britishsnoring.co.uk.

Mandibular advancement devices

This is arguably one of the best anti-snoring solutions in the market today. It’s designed to push your lower jaw and tongue forward so as not to be an obstruction to your mouth when breathing. This allows you to intake more air and much more freely when worn.
