Snoring

If you tend to snore, avoid sleeping on your back. In this position, throat tissues sag and your tongue falls backward into your throat narrowing the airway. Choose your pillow carefully. Overly soft pillows can cause your head to tilt backward and increase snoring. Use an extra pillow or elevate the head of your bed a few inches to stop your tongue from falling back over your windpipe. Sleep on your side. With your head lying in a natural position, nothing will restrict the airflow. – Do special exercises. Exercising the muscles of your tongue and throat can help strengthen them and reduce snoring.
