Stop Snoring

Frequently Asked Questions

1. QUESTION:
   Stop snoring?
   Will my step dad snores really really bad, & since i sleep in dat room he cant let me sleep because he snores really really bad....How can i make him stop snoring

   • ANSWER:
     I know there are some medical things you could probablly seek, but since you're probablly looking for simple home remedies, then the best advice i can give is to ask him to sleep on his stomach. Trust me it works! I grew up with multiple friends who snored horribly and I learned that if they sleep on their stomach it deminishes the noise. Another thing i can swear by, is to buy a Floor fan, the steady noise should help to drum out the sporadic snores. If that doesnt work, then Dope up on Tylenol PM's. -;o)

3. QUESTION:
   Stop Snoring?
   My brother sleeps in the bedroom next to mine and he snores really really loud whihc keeps me from going to sleep. How do i stop his snoring. I've tried punching him in the face but it doesnt work.

   • ANSWER:
     Did you try punching him repeatedly? Just one won't do it. You have to keep popping him over and over and over. You don't snore when you're unconscious.

     Just kidding. Breathe Right Strips. Opens the nasal passages.

4. QUESTION:
   What is the best stop snoring home remedy?
   I have had problems my whole life with snoring, and was wondering if anyone had suggestions for the best stop snoring home remedy. It's really been bothering me recently, and I want it to stop already! Any help would be appreciated.

   • ANSWER:
     You really should see your doctor and be tested for sleep apnea or nasal or throat polyps, or sinus troubles.

     Some things to try at home:
     1. the nasal strips (Breathe Right is a brand name). Those can help with snoring and for nasal congestion.
     2. Don't sleep on your back. My husband snores, but i've noticed it doesn't happen if he is sleeping on his side. Prop with pillows to keep yourself from rolling onto your back.
     3. Raise the head of your bed up on blocks.
     4. Lose weight. If you have a thick neck, that will partially block your airway and cause snoring.
     5. Get more rest. My hubby tends to snore when he is more tired than usual.
     6. Make sure you are drinking plenty of fluids. At night mucous membranes dry out and could lead to snoring.

     And again, see your doctor to be checked.

5. QUESTION:

6. QUESTION:
   What is the best way to stop snoring at night when sleeping?
   Tell me the best 3 way to stop snoring at night when sleeping?

   • ANSWER:
     * Sleep on your side. Prop an extra pillow behind your back so you won't roll over. Try sleeping on a narrow sofa for a few nights to get accustomed to staying on your side.
     * Sew a large marble or tennis ball into a pocket on the back of your pajamas. The discomfort it causes will remind you to sleep on your side.
     * If you must sleep on your back, raise the head of the bed by putting bricks or blocks between the mattress and box springs. Or buy a wedge especially made to be placed between the mattress and box spring to elevate the head section. Elevating the head prevents the tongue from falling against the back of the throat.
     * If you are heavy, lose weight. Excess fatty tissue in the throat can cause snoring.
     * Don't drink alcohol or eat a heavy meal within 3 hours before bedtime. For some reason, both seem to foster snoring.
     * If necessary, take an antihistamine or decongestant before retiring to relieve nasal congestion (which can also contribute to snoring). [Note: Older men should check with their doctor before taking decongestants. Decongestants that have ephendrine can give older men urinary problems.]
     * Get rid of allergens in the bedroom such as dust, down filled (feathered) pillows and bed linen (this may also relieve nasal congestion).
     * Try over-the-counter "nasal strips". These keep the nostrils open and lift them up, keeping nasal passages unobstructed.

7. QUESTION:
   What are some simple ways to reduce or stop snoring?
   I have a roommate I keep waking up, but I never snore unless I'm in that dorm room. Is there medication or techniques that can help me reduce or stop snoring?

   • ANSWER:
     Losing weight can help but if you arent overweight - dont.

     A tennis ball sewn into your sleep shirt can help as it prevents you rolling onto your back which exacerbates snoring.

     Also those nose patches like bandaids - they can open up your sinuses to help you breath more clearly.

     Thats my best hope it helps

8. QUESTION:

9. QUESTION:
   What is a god way for my parents to stop snoring?
   They just recently got back together and they are 60 years old. They both snore so bad that they keep each other awake at night. They've had to resort to sleeping in separate rooms, it's so bad. What can they try to maybe not snore, or not snore so intensely? They snore in all positions so rolling each other over does not work. Does anyone know if those pillows that are supposed to stop snoring actually work? Does anyone know what they can try?

   • ANSWER:
     They need to lose some weight and get on a good nutritional program that will make them healthy. Snoring is one sign of bad health. Some people have sleep apneas that can be life threatening and others have loose tissue that "flaps in the wind" and rattles when they relax while sleeping.

     What most people find is that when they lose weight and improve their diet so they are getting good nutrients in their bodies, the snoring goes away or is greatly reduced.

     good luck to you

    • ANSWER:
      If you know you have sleep apnea it means you have been tested by a doctor. Why on earth didn't he get you a CPAP machine. That took care of my problem. When you have sleep apnea you stop breathing in your sleep. It will stop the snoring and help you breath.

    How to stop snoring at night?
    I cannot seem to stop snoring at night. I've tried a couple of different products, but none of them seem to work. Anyone have any suggestions, my wife is ready to move onto the couch.

    • ANSWER:
      The best thing you can do is to start working out and try to lose some weight. It is said that snoring at night is caused by fatty tissue in the throat, and this traps some mucus and creates a pocket of saliva. Nasty, I know, but its the truth.

      You can also try using a product called snore zip, which prevents this mucus from building up at night and will help you stop snoring. Check out link below for reviews. I believe they have a free trial, my friend said he used it and it dramatically reduced his snoring.

19. QUESTION:
    How do I stop my husband from snoring?
    It's gotten really bad lately, and it keeps me up at night. I yell "stop snoring", kick him, and that will make him stop for about 2 minutes, but then it starts again. (He never remembers my yelling or kicks in the morning, so I don't feel bad.) He never snored in 8 years of marriage until 6 months ago. He's in his mid 30's, is extremely fit and is at or below his ideal weight, and has had no change in health. He says the snoring is because he's "exhausted." It's true that he is working longer hours these days. But in any case, the snoring needs to stop! I'm going nuts!

      It's possible to treat snoring through lifestyle modifications such as losing weight, quitting smoking, changing sleep habits, and avoiding alcohol and sedatives before you go to bed. If snoring is due to nasal congestion, nasal strips, decongestants, or nasal corticosteroid sprays may be used. If these modifications do not improve the snoring, then it is time to see a doctor.

26. QUESTION:
    How can I stop snoring? I hear its pretty bad, and i need to stop!?
    I'm about to get married, and my fiance can't stand how i sleep! I MUST stop snoring so we can sleep in the same room at least when we get married. I have tried:
    -Breath Rite strips, BR throat sprays, and BR mouth gargle
    -nasal decongestant pills
    -allergy medication
    -I sleep on my side
    -nasal sprays
    almost everything, i would prefer not seeing a doctor, as I have no health insurance at the moment, i'm hoping for another solution!

    • ANSWER:
      Do you know for certain that you snore when you sleep on your side? Just because you start out in that position does not mean you stay that way the entire night. If you are right and you never sleep on your back but still snore, the other thing to take a look at is your weight. If you are not at your ideal body weight, that plays a big part in why people snore at night. If you are overweight, the snoring is not going to stop until you lose weight. If weight is not an issue for you, the only other option you have is the one you don't want to do - see a doctor. It may be possible that you also have sleep apnea, so going to the doctor would be a good idea.

      Edit: strange how I get a thumbs down on my answer when I did not try to give you a diagnosis like some of the other answers you received. Not everyone who snores has sleep apnea, so how someone can tell you that your problem sounds like sleep apnea is strange. You did not list any symptoms except for snoring. I have seen many people who snore who do not have sleep apnea. Some of these people even tried some of the things you have tried and it did not stop the snoring, though they did not have apnea either. I'm not saying you don't have apnea, but going from "I snore" to "sounds like you have sleep apnea" is a big jump without knowing anything else about you.

27. QUESTION:
    How do you get someone to stop snoring?
    someone is sleepin over at my house and they are snoring like crazy. I can't even think right. how do I get them to stop?

    • ANSWER:
      Hi. You have a bunch of choices actually:

      1. A number of people snore in certain positions only (mostly on their back) and nudging them and asking them to sleep on their side can often solve the problem.

      2. If you do not want to get involved then using foam ear plugs will block out all the noise and you can sleep easily. The good thing about these foam ear plugs is that they are very affordable and you can use them also for when you need to work or study and there is a disturbance around. My article "Snore Calm Foam Ear Plugs REVIEW" here http://sleepdisorders.dolyan.com/snoring/anti-snore-solutions/snore-calm-foam-ear-plugs-review talks about a number of them and there is a picture and a video so you can see how they work.

      3. If it is someone close to you or someone you are close enough with, you can try to help them solve their snoring problem for real. This will involve you observing them a little bit and understanding if they are snoring in specific positions and also if their snoring is coming from their nose or their mouth / throat. Knowing these 2 things is already a lot and you can then pinpoint the treatments in my article called "Snore cures" here http://sleepdisorders.dolyan.com/snoring/snore-cures where the top part is all the cures for snoring which are completely free and you can do yourself and the bottom parts are what different companies offer to people in which cases.

      Best of luck to you.

    • ANSWER:
      The anti-snoring device works by keeping your lower jaw more or less closed that increase your airflow thus eliminating your snores.

      I know some of my friends have tried this with some good results, let me know how it works for you if you try it.

      How it works – Snoring research has shown that a jaw supporter, keeping the lower jaw in an upward position increases the three dimensional space in the airway, reduces air velocity and soft tissue vibration. This action can eliminate or substantially reduce snoring.

      A jaw supporter is based on the same principle as CPR. The airway must be open to allow air to pass through the throat. A constricted or collapsed airway causes snoring and/or OSA. A jaw supporter can hold the lower jaw in a position so that it does not fall backwards/down during the night and cause the airway to collapse. Maintaining a clear airway improves breathing and reduces snoring.

    • ANSWER:
      Snoring in kids his age is often a sign of inflammation in the throat area associated with enlarged tonsils or adenoids, so he should get these checked by a doctor/ENT specialist first of all. He may have some slight allergies or hayfever which could be contributing too.

    Is there anyway to stop someone from snoring?
    To me snoring is annoying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! someone who sleeps next to me on another bed starts to snore after 15 mins and her snoring sounds like a bubble popping in cartoons and it takes me at least 2 hours to fall asleep. anyway how do you stop someone to stop snoring?

    • ANSWER:
      There are lots of ways to try and stop snoring, but it is worth trying to find out what is causing it.

      It’s usually pretty simple really, snoring occurs when there is some kind of blockage in the breathing passage when you fall asleep. The airflow in your bronchial passage becomes irregular due to the constriction that occurs when your throat relaxes. Disrupted airflow then causes the soft palette in the breathing passages to flap causing the snoring sound. It’s like a door banging open and shut in the wind.

      So keeping the airways open is the key. Here are some suggestions to achieve that:

      • Elevate your head by sleeping on a thicker pillow or multiple pillows will help reduce your snoring, a pillow that's too soft encourages your throat muscles to relax and narrows your air passageway.
      • Don't drink alcoholic beverages, take sleeping pills, tranquilizers, or antihistamines right before going to sleep, they will cause your muscles to relax and limit your air passage way.
      • Avoid dairy products, which can cause mucus build-up right before you go to sleep.
      • If you are overweight, losing some weight will reduce snoring by increasing the space in your air passage way.
      • Sleeping on your side instead of your back
      • Try following a regular sleep routine.
      • Don't eat a big meal right before bed, if your stomach is full it will push up on your diaphragm and limit breathing passage ways.
      • If you are a smoker, stop smoking, if that is not feasible then avoid smoking right before you go to bed. Smoking causes inflammation and swelling of the throat.
      • Try exercising the muscles in your jaw, mouth and throat - strengthening these will reduce the airway collapsing when you are relaxed
      • It is important that you Consult a medical professional if your snoring continues to adversely affect your sleep as you may have sleep apnoea.

      There are many other Stop Snoring Aids available such as nasal strips, sprays, mouth guards or even surgery, but I would sugest exhausting the list above, and doing the excercises before you go down that path.

      Good Luck

    Does a Sleep Apnea Machine Stop Snoring?
    Does sleep apnea machine usage stop/prevent snoring?
    Does the machine make noise?

    My husband is getting a machine this week. I would like to know if he will stop snoring and I can sleep better. Or, will the machine be loud and disturb my sleep?

    • ANSWER:
      My husband uses a CPAP machine, and yes, it stopped his snoring completely. The machine does make a noise, sort of a "white noise" fan sound. I got used to it - I find it covers up a lot of other noises, like traffic, and now I practically need that noise to sleep well myself.

    How do people stop snoring?

    • ANSWER:
      Never worked on my hubby. We tried everything short of surgery and finally now we sleep in different bedrooms and voile....no more complaints.

      The best think you can do for yourself is get some ear plugs. Mack's Earplugs (silicone putty) are available at WalMart for about for a dozen plugs. Divide each plug in half and insert "flat" into ear passage. Excellent and comfy. Change every week.
      They really do work great unless your sister is a beluga whale type snorer and you're sleeping right next to one another.
