My husband used to snore so loud that I wasn’t able to sleep at night! We sent him to a sleep clinic and he received a CPAP machine, and now we both get a sound sleep nightly. Read on for some tips to help you overcome your snoring problem and get some shut-eye.
To help stop snoring problems, try to avoid taking sleeping pills or other types of tranquilizing medication to help you rest. These sleep aids may help you feel more restful, but they also contribute to both snoring and sleep apnea. Some tranquilizers are even addictive and can cause health problems if overused.
If snoring has become a nighttime concern, then it is time to give dairy products such as milk, yogurt or cheese a miss before you go to sleep each night. This is because the dairy products can cause mucus to build up near your breathing passages, and this will trigger off snoring.
Facial exercises do more than just tone and trim your jawline; actually, by regularly completing these exercises, you may also strengthen the muscles of your mouth and neck. As a result, you will be less prone to loud and disruptive snoring throughout the night. Now THAT, is really something to smile about!
Avoid alcoholic beverages and sleep-inducing pills like tranquilizers or antihistamines close to bedtime. When muscles are relaxed by these artificial properties, they tend to get restrict your air passages. This restriction will increase snoring and keep you up. If you’re going to drink alcohol, do it earlier in the evening.
When my husband had his test I decided to get my own, only to find out I have a similar condition. While a CPAP machine can seem scary at first, I’ve fallen in love with mine and couldn’t sleep without it. Using the tips in this article will help you to get things under control just as we have!
