Better To Sleep On Your Side

Partners of people who snore tend to find that by poking their snoring partner and getting them to sleep on their side or stomach tends to reduce the amount of snoring. Its seems that people snore less when sleeping on their side or stomach compared to them slleping on their back. Consider this stop snoring advice. A simple trick to help you not sleep on your side is to sew or tape a tennis ball in to the back of your pyjama tops. This will encourage you NOT to attempt to sleep on your back. Be sure you are healthy enough to sleep on your side or stomach, though.

The most extreme stop snoring advice this writer has ever read was something on BBC News - tape your lips together to keep from snoring. You mouth does have to be open in order to snore. You have to be sure your nasal passages are clear and that your lips are tucked into your mouth before your use the surgical tape. I personally have never tried this stop snoring advice, although now I wish I did for one girlfirend I used to have, and not because she snored.

See Your Doctor
