Millions of people around the world snore on a regular basis. Men are more likely to snore than women. According to different studies, forty percent of men and twenty-four percent of women are habitual sleep snorers. Snoring is not only annoying for the snorer but also for their sleeping partner. Snoring can be continuous or intermittent. As you age, your muscle tone in the throat will decrease. This can be dangerous if left untreated.
Finding the cause of any problem is key to eliminating it. It is easier to cure snoring if it is caused by a benign factor. The snoring is caused by the vibrating tissues of your throat due to air crossing, causing a loud and disturbing noise. Here are some common solutions to your snoring problem.
1. Back off Your Back
Snoring is more common when you sleep on the back. This is because the tongue moves backwards and rests on the back of the throat. It partially blocks the airway, causing you snore. By sleeping on your side, you can prevent the collapse of the throat and the tongue. This will allow for normal breathing.
