• Who hasn't heard the jokes and jibes about
  "sawing logs", or a "hog mauling"? Funny quips
  aside, snoring is no laughing matter in reality.
  It can negatively impact one's social
  interactions with loved ones at best, or indicate
  the presence of serious health conditions at
  worst.

• One of the most common things which affect
  snorers (and/or those close by) is a distinct
  lack of sleep, which can diminish one's quality
  of life, work, and play. Snoring problems are
  familiar to more than 40 of average adults, with
  that ratio typically increasing with age.

4

• Today, we'll cover some easy tips you can perform
  at home to keep snoring in check, and restore
  everyone's sleep - in peace.
• One way to prevent snoring starts in the bed -
  unsurprisingly.

5

• Lying flat on your back can cause the tongue to
  fall to the back of the throat or the throat
  tissues to loosely sag down into the airway,
  causing the characteristic "chortling" sound.
  This can also happen when lying on one's side as
  well, especially for those with excess body
  weight.

6

• The solution is to elevate your head above your
  chest either by propping yourself up with pillows
  or by raising the head of the bed higher than the
  foot of the bed.
• Obesity is a major contributor to snoring,

7

• as the excess body tissue tends to be looser than
  it should be, increasing the likelihood of airway
  constriction and obstruction. Overweight people
  are also at a much greater risk for sleep apnea,
  a potentially dangerous sleep disorder in which
  one's air supply is diminished so severely that

8

• the body is constantly waking itself up partially
  throughout the night to restore a normal level of
  oxygen in the blood. The sufferer oftentimes does
  not realize they are waking up, yet they receive
  little benefit from sleep because they are unable
  to maintain deep, restful sleep states.

9

• Alcohol consumption and smoking are other
  contributors to snoring that are often resolved
  by simple lifestyle changes.
• Aside from the aforementioned natural methods,
  snoring solutions can also come from your local
  dentist. They can recommend mandibular
  advancement devices, (or MAD for short), which

10

• move your lower jaw slightly outward, while also
  holding the tongue in place, so that your airway
  stays clear, free, and quiet. They are an
  excellent solution for those snorers whose source
  of trouble is related to weak throat muscles, or
  other dental-related causes.
