5 Easy Yet Effective Home Remedies for Sleep Apnea

• Sleep apnea is a far more serious condition than
  most people realize. If you have it your
  breathing will pause for a short while and the
  flow of oxygen will be disrupted which can lead
  to poor immune function, mental health issues,
  memory loss, and a higher risk of heart failure.

2
Get a humidifier

• A humidifier is essentially a device that will
  add moisture to the air so that it isnt as dry.
  That can help your respiratory system by
  decreasing congestion and opening up your airways
  so that you can breathe more easily.

3
Try to maintain a healthy weight

• Dropping a few pounds and ensuring that your
  weight is healthy can have a big impact on sleep
  apnea. In some cases it may be all that it takes
  to eliminate it almost completely and make
  surgery and other treatment unnecessary.

4
Adjust your sleeping position

• While there are lots of sleeping positions that
  you can try, as a start you may want to stick to
  something simple and sleep on your side. It may
  help to also prop your head up slightly when you
  sleep or elevate it from the waist up.

5
Exercise regularly

• In addition to helping you to lose weight (which
  should help your sleep apnea), exercising
  regularly can encourage oxygen flow and improve
  your respiratory system.
• Aside from cardiovascular exercise such as brisk
  walks, cycling, or jogging breathing exercises
  and yoga can help too. If you are able to
  exercise daily, it should improve your sleep by
  leaps and bounds.
