Ways to get rid of snoring
1- Sleeping on both sides of the body
Sleeping on the back may sometimes cause the tongue to move to the back of the throat, thus completely blocking the flow of air. Sleeping on one side of the body helps in allowing air to flow easily, which prevents or reduces snoring, but you must make sure that there is no problem with the back or neck. .

2- Get enough sleep
It is necessary for people to sleep a sufficient number of hours ranging from 7 to 9 hours per day, as sleep deprivation causes excessive snoring, thus not relaxing the throat muscles and increasing the chances of airway obstruction.

3-Avoid sedatives before bed
The habit of taking sedatives before bedtime increases snoring during sleep, so you should limit taking sedatives before bedtime and consult a specialist doctor regarding the medications that are taken, because sedatives work to unnaturally relax the muscles and the inability to control them, including the muscles of the throat.
4-Keep away from smoking
Smoking usually exacerbates the problem and leads to excessive snoring. Smoking before bed increases the risk of obstructive sleep apnea, so you should completely avoid smoking and consult a specialist in the event of gum problems due to smoking.

5-Maintain body weight
Excess weight causes snoring during sleep, and obese people are keen to lose weight, which contributes to reducing the amount of tissue in the throat that causes snoring, by reducing the number of calories obtained and exercising regularly.
When is the specialist doctor consulted?
Usually, a specialist doctor is consulted in the event of disturbing symptoms, including:
Nocturnal urination.
– Excessive sleep.
Dry mouth following waking up.
Sore throat for a long time.
Headache when waking up.
