What to do in case of snoring?

People who suffer from snoring, as well as their roommates, frequently ask themselves this question: How to stop snoring? And what will have an immediate effect, aside from the infamous kick in the back or a flying pillow? If not tried yet, lying on one's side might help. This position prevents the lower jaw and tongue from sliding backward and thereby reducing the airways, one of the main reasons for snoring. Unfortunately, for many people who snore, lying on one?s side or stomach is uncomfortable. Furthermore, sitting on the couch and nodding off also tends to be accompanied by loud snoring - and here, "sitting sideways" is not easily done.

What else can be done about it, would a nasal strip help?

A nasal strip opens nasal passages by lifting the sides of nose and is definitely worth a try. A nasal strip can help alleviate problems with swollen mucous membranes or a deviated septum. Sprays developed specifically for snoring and applied to nose or pharynx might help as well.

What else can be done about snoring?

The obvious thing one can do in order to immediately reduce the snorer?s volume is to move into a different room, if possible. Other remedies are either prosthetic - such as guards or jaw-fixating braces 'prophylactic' which might include a balanced and healthy way of living 'or invasive' such as tissue removal via plastic surgery.

Some homeopathic medication is said to alleviate the condition, but this remains to be proven. As observed many times, these remedies are occasionally successful, but so can be (for example) the reduction of radiation from cell phones for a relaxing night of sleep. If and how much of an effect it will have on sleep (and especially snoring) can be tested by anyone for himself.
