Patients can relieve snoring by improving their lifestyle and sleeping style:
Weight loss: Obese people need to lose weight to reduce airway stenosis caused by throat fat. Although reducing excess fat may not cure snoring, it can usually relieve the symptoms of snoring.
Quit smoking: Quitting smoking can reduce airway inflammation or swelling and improve airway stenosis.
Alcohol restriction: It is very important to avoid drinking before going to bed and drinking heavily for a long time.
Lie on your side instead
Supine: Although you snore in any sleeping position when snoring is serious, if you snore lightly or moderately, you are more likely to snore on your back. Lying on your side helps to reduce snoring.
Avoid using too high a pillow: the bedside can be properly padded to keep the head and neck airway unobstructed, which is helpful to relieve snoring.
Avoid taking sedatives (such as sleeping pills) before going to bed to avoid aggravating snoring.
