If you have a snoring problem (the people in your house might know, if you aren’t sure), then you should have yourself checked by your local dentist, particularly one who offers snoring treatment, since it might be a sign of something worse than just an annoying involuntary habit. Nevertheless, there are some things you can do yourself to try and curb this habit. So complement your dentist’s recommendations with:

Changing Sleep Positions 

When you lie on your back, the base of your tongue collapses onto the back wall of your throat, which then vibrates as you try to breathe in your sleep. Try sleeping on your side. If you’re not comfortable with this position, you can always use a full-length pillow to support your body to the side as you sleep.

Sleeping Right

If you sleep very late and wake up way too early each morning, then your muscles tend to be too fatigued by the time it gets some much needed rest. This, in turn, means that your throat muscles become floppy and thus allow for more vibration and snoring. A good sleeping habit should be enough to curb this.

Losing Weight 

When you gain weight, the bulk of fat that your body stores tends to squeeze and decrease the internal diameter of your throat. This then means that your throat is more likely to provide a small passage for air during your sleep, causing pretty much the same snoring problems as the previous two examples
