With 30 million people suffering from snoring in the UK, it's very likely that you know (or have slept near) someone who snores.There can be many reasons for the noisy nighttime habit including narrow airways and the vibration of tissues in your throat that relax when you sleep. Although occasional snoring may not be cause for alarm, for consistent snorers it may be damaging to their health due to disrupting their own sleep cycles, which can lead to chronic fatigue.
If you're dreaming of a silent night, then one of these eight tips from Sleep Expert at Emma Sleep, Dr Verena Senn may just do the trick... Sleep on your side "People who snore often sleep on their backs in what is called the ‘supine position’.This is a problem as it causes your tongue to fall back and block your airway.
Also, gravity pulls the throat tissues that surround your airway downward, narrowing it.The easiest solution is to try to sleep on your side. "In the past a popular way to prevent snorers from rolling onto their backs was to sew a tennis balls into the back of pyjamas.
A much more comfortable idea would be to arrange some large pillows behind your back so that they keep you from rolling over. After a few weeks, sleeping on your side will become a habit." Elevate the bed "While lifting just your head with a pillow can block your airway, elevating the top end of your bed (and therefore the upper half of your body) can actually open your airway by moving your tongue forward." A nifty tip, but not the kind of interior change that will be possible for everyone!
