PUT AN END TO SNORING!!

If you already have some idea of which remedy you should try, select from one or more of the categories below:

Lifestyle changes
All the usual vices worsen snoring: alcohol, smoking, overeating, under exercising, caffeine. What did you expect?!

Snoring and Lifestyle
Your mother is right again...add one more negative consequence of eating too much, drinking too much alcohol and smoking: they all make your snoring worse.
Some of the factors that can increase your snoring are:
sleeping on your back
increasing body weight
alcohol consumption
tobacco consumption
eating heavy meals late in the evening
sleeping tablets or mood-altering drugs
Before you launch into some of the more drastic snoring cures, your doctor will usually recommend "conservative" therapy; i.e., change your lifestyle. He or she will probably offer advice like this:

Sleep posture correction
Many of us snore especially loudly when we sleep on our back. Various pillows and strap-on devices are available to get you unsupine.

Homeopathic remedies
Some people have had success with natural remedies available in health food stores and over the Net.

Throat sprays
These coat the soft tissues of the throat with lubricating oils, allowing the air to move more freely and lessening the noisy vibration.

Nasal dilation
These include adhesive strips which hold open the airways of your nose, plastic devices to hold open your nostrils, and nasal sprays which reduce congestion or the swelling of nasal tissues.

Mouth breathing correction
Many people would snore less if they would just learn to breathe through their nose. This page lists products that will shut your mouth...

Mouthpiece devices
Devices are available — some custom-fitted by your dentist — which pull your lower jaw or tongue forward, thereby creating enough space in the throat to prevent breathing obstruction.

CPAP (Continuous Positive Airways Pressure)
Machinery which blows air through your nose via a mask, preventing disruption of breathing and eliminating snoring.

Palatal implants: Pillar® Procedure
Pillar implants, together with your body's natural response, stiffen and add structural support to the soft palate, reducing the vibrations that cause snoring sounds.

Palate stiffening by scarring
You can achieve palate stiffening and reduce noisy vibrations by injecting a scarring solution (injection snoreplasty) or surgically by creating scarring with laser or scalpel.

Radiofrequency Tissue Reduction: Somnoplasty and Coblation
Radiofrequency Tissue Reduction (RFTR) consists of piercing the tongue, throat or soft palate with a needle connected to a radio frequency generator. Inner tissues shrink, but outer tissues, which contain your taste buds, are left intact.

Surgery
Various surgical procedures with names like uvulopalatoplasty are available which remove or shrink palate and throat tissue, making it easier for you to breathe.

Hypnosis, aromatherapy and other alternative approaches
These pages collect any off-the-wall remedy we come across. We don't endorse any snoring remedy on this site, but we try to document them all.
