If you or your partner snore, rest assured that there are a variety of ways to stop snoring.
Some are simple lifestyle changes that are easy to make. These include losing weight if you are on the heavy side and avoiding smoking, alcohol and sedatives.
If your snoring is due to allergies that make breathing through your nose difficult, talk to your doctor about finding suitable medication.
You should also consult your doctor if you have a structural problem with your nose called a deviated septum. This is when the structure that separates the two sides of your nose internally isn’t aligned correctly. They may recommend surgery to correct this or other issues to do with your throat or mouth.
Finally, if you tend to sleep on your back, you can try a special pillow that supports you. Know that sleeping on your side means you are less likely to snore, so you could also try an anti-snoring pillow designed to get you comfortable while side sleeping.
