Snoring is something we joke about but we soon stop thinking it is a laughing matter if the person WE share our bedroom with is a snorer.
Some of the factors affecting the amount of disharmony from snoring is how loud it is, and how long it lasts.
On the market are a variety of methods, pillows, straps to keep your mouth closed etc. to help the snorer and their near ones. The success rate of these contraptions vary a lot. One of the problems is that they do not address WHY the person is snoring, they just try to shut the person up!
Strapping your chin to keep your mouth shut, or sleeping on a special pillow, or forcing you to sleep on your side may bring some temporary relief, but as soon as that chin strap comes off, you are snoring again.
Natural methods such as yoga, changing sleeping position, breathing exercises, not consuming alcohol prior to bed can all help to some extent, but they too are not cause oriented.
The most common causes of snoring are all related to the tissue in and around the mouth and throat from narrow nasal passages, stuffy nose, weak muscles in the throat, tense muscles in the jaw, soft palate being weak and falling into throat and the tongue being weak falling backwards and partially blocking the airways.
This is great news. In the same way, (but much easier) you exercise other muscles for tone, the muscles and tissue around your airways can be toned and strengthened by spending a few minutes per day doing easy and pleasant exercises. With toned muscles in your throat and jaw and tongue, your snoring will only exist in your memory. (And in your partner's)
