Snoring is not something to worry about most times. However, sometimes, snoring problems get worse and becomes especially disturbing. Snoring can affect the quality of your sleep and affect the quantity of your partner’s sleep. Poor sleep can cause exhaustion, restlessness, irritability, and other medical problems in both you and your partner.

There comes a point wherein you need to take action to solve your snoring problems, especially if they become troublesome for other people as well. Here are some key steps to take when you have snoring problems to take care of.

1. Find the cause. The most important thing about snoring is what causes it. People snore for different reasons. The sound of a snore is a result of a narrowing of your airway; the sound is produced because it becomes harder for air to pass through due to the narrow passageway. The airway can be narrowed by many possible reasons, some of which are:

– Poor sleeping position
– Poor posture
– Tissue abnormalities in the throat

The leading causes of snoring problems are:

– Age – As a person ages, the throat passageway becomes narrower and the muscles in the throat weakens.
– Physical abnormalities – Some people are born with narrow throats, enlarged adenoids, and so on.
– Nasal or sinus disorders – Some people suffer from blocked airways such as clogged nose or sinuses; this lessens the supply of air to the throat, which can then cause the throat to take stronger and more ragged breaths. This produces snoring sounds.
– Excessive weight – Large amounts of fatty tissues in the body can cause snoring.
– Lack of physical activity – Muscles become weaker when they are not used often, and this can lead to snoring.
– Smoking – Smoking can lead to respiratory problems, which also causes snoring.
– Alcohol – Alcohol also causes a weakness or induced relaxation in the muscles, which also lead to snoring.

Once you find the cause of your snoring, by removing or finding a remedy for that cause, you also get rid of your snoring problems.

2. Watch what you eat. Eating too much, excessive weight, and high levels of cholesterol in the body, especially during the time immediately before sleeping can cause a narrowing of the airways in the body due to the accumulation of fatty tissues. This is the leading cause of snoring that has even led to some fatalities.

So there are two things you must do:

First, avoid eating too much before sleeping. Doing so can lead to one-night snores, even if you are not a regular snorer. You never know what a night of blocked air passage can do; it may or may not lead to dangerous effects on your breathing.

Second, lose weight or watch your weight for long term results. If you snore regularly, then you have to consistently watch what you eat and strive to lose excess fat, which makes the body more prone to snoring problems.

To help you build better eating habits, you may get help from subliminal messages such as:

I eat for my health.
I choose the right food.
What I eat nourishes me and keeps me healthy.

3. Double-check your sleep environment. If you have difficulty breathing at night before you go to sleep, then you need to check many possible causes for this:

First, is the room you sleep in well-ventilated? Proper ventilation also means the body gets enough air and does not have to work too hard to get it.

Second, does your mattress and pillow give you a proper sleep posture that eases pressure on your back and chest to encourage free breathing? Sleeping with your head bent too much because of a thick pillow can block the airway in the throat; this is why thinner pillows or sleeping with a natural curve from your head, neck, and down to your back is better than sleeping with a thick and foamy pillow. Some people even try sleeping without a pillow to get rid of snoring problems.

You may also try playing soothing music before sleep to create a more relaxing ambience.
