According to Daily Mail online there are certain ways to stylishly overcome Snoring as based on gathered information on research. Read them below:
1. USE A TENNIS BALL
People who sleep on their side are less susceptible to snoring, say experts. When one sleeps on their back, the excess tissue from the tongue and chin can squash the airway, obstructing breathing and in turn making an awful racket.
Sewing a ball into a pocket on the back of pyjama tops will make it uncomfortable to lie on the back and force snorers into lying on their sides instead. Anyone for tennis?
2. JOIN A CHOIR
A study carried out by the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital in 2013 found that singing can be used to reduce the risk of snoring, as supposedly, a lack of tone in the throat muscles can be a major cause.
Singing acts almost like an exercise routine for these muscles... so join a choir to strengthen them up. Altogether now...tralalalalaaahh.
3. RINSE AWAY
Instead of rinsing your mouth with traditional mouthwash, try an anti-snoring throat rinse. They help to tighten and lubricate the muscles in the back of the throat - reducing your chances of snoring...not only will your sleep be sounder, but you'll also have minty-fresh breath.
4. DO SOME TONGUE AEROBICS
Research shows that doing certain facial and tongue exercises every day can reduce your chances of snoring and suffering from snoring-related conditions like sleep apnoea - a condition caused by relaxed muscles that can see the airways blocked for up to 10 seconds, throughout the night.
How to do tongue aerobics: Stick your tongue out and try and touch your chin. Then, extend your tongue upwards and attempt to reach your nose. And repeat!
5. BUY A REALLY LONG NOVEL
It's time to get your copy of War and Peace. Not to read, but to stick under your mattress. Propping the top of your mattress up and making sure that you sleep with your head raised means that your tongue can’t drop back and obstruct your airway when you’re asleep.
6. TIDY YOUR BEDROOM
Allergens like dust and pet hair can cause your nasal passages to become inflamed. This makes it hard for you to breathe through your nose, increasing the likelihood of you being noisier when asleep. Ensuring that you regularly change your bedding and hoover the floor can help in these cases.
7. DITCH THE BEDTIME HORLICKS
Many people believe that dairy products can cause extra mucus to be produced. This mucus can obstruct the airway and cause snoring, so try going without milk for a few nights to see if it helps.
8. GET YOUR TRAINERS ON
Getting regular exercise tires you out and helps you to fall asleep when you get into bed, but it could also help your snoring.
Carrying extra weight (especially around your neck and under chin area) means your airway could be obstructed. Upping your daily exercise and losing a few pounds can help you to sleep more soundly (and quietly).
9. PULL YOUR SOCKS UP
Recent research suggests that wearing flight socks during the day can help to address the snoring-related condition sleep apnoea. Flight socks reduce the amount of fluid that builds up in the lower part of the legs during the day. Medical studies have revealed that at night some of this fluid 'shifts' up to the neck area as a result of gravity when the patient is lying down
10. TRY SOME THROAT SPRAY
Working in the same manner as anti-snoring mouthwash, specifically-formulated throat spray helps to tighten and lubricate your throat muscles. Natural formulations in certain sprays can supposedly last for up to 8 hours.
