Snoring Prevention – Best Ways to Stop Snoring
Snoring disturbs both the snorer themselves and their partner sleeping next to them. The good news is that there are many effective aids for snoring prevention – without a doctor's visit or expensive procedures.
What causes snoring?
Snoring occurs when the airway narrows during sleep and tissues vibrate with the airflow. The most common causes are:
- Nasal congestion or narrow nostrils
- Mouth breathing at night
- Sleeping on your back
- Overweight
- Alcohol consumption in the evening
- Deviated nasal septum
Snoring prevention – the best aids
1. Nasal strips and nose clips
Open the nostrils and force breathing through the nose. Very effective if snoring is caused by nasal congestion.
2. Mouth tape
Mouth tape is gently applied over the mouth for the night. It prevents mouth breathing and directs breathing through the nose. Simple but effective.
3. Anti-snoring mouthpiece
An anti-snoring mouthpiece is a device worn in the mouth that pushes the lower jaw slightly forward, opening the airways. Very effective for many snorers.
4. Anti-snoring shirt or anti-snoring belt
Prevents sleeping on your back, which worsens snoring. The belt or shirt has a padded section on the back that makes sleeping on your back uncomfortable.
5. Sleep apnea belt
A sleep apnea belt is an aid specifically designed for sleep apnea. It monitors breathing and gently wakes you if breathing stops.
Help for snoring – where to start?
If you are snoring for the first time or your snoring is mild, start with the simplest aids:
- Nasal strips or nose clips – affordable and easy to try
- Mouth tape – if you breathe through your mouth at night
- Anti-snoring belt – if you sleep on your back
If snoring is severe or you suspect sleep apnea, see a doctor.
Snoring in women – is it different?
Snoring is often associated with men, but women also snore. Especially after menopause, snoring becomes more common in women due to hormonal changes. The same aids also work for women.
