Do you or someone you know snore when asleep? Does it affect your rest or someone else's rest? If so, it's time to do something about it. In the following article, you can learn about what causes snoring and what can be done about it to quiet or eradicate it.

Men suffer from chronic snoring more often than women do. The main reason for this is that men tend to have narrower airways than their female counterparts. When air flows over these narrower air passages, it can't flow as freely as it should, causing the noisy vibrations that we call snoring.

Anything that reduces your ability to breathe at night is a likely cause of snoring. Try to eat your larger meals several hours before bed, giving your body a chance to digest before sleeping.

One great tip that anyone who suffers from excessive snoring can implement is to use a nasal strip while you sleep. These strips help open up your nasal passageway making it easier to breath due to the fact that more air is allowed to flow through. They are easy to use and very effective.

Breathe through your nose. If you find yourself frequently breathing through your mouth at night, you may be contributing to your snoring problem. Air is normally slowed by the nasal passages as you breathe, however this important pathway is bypassed when you breathe through your mouth. This fast moving, turbulent air hits the throat and soft palate, resulting in snoring. You can find devices available for purchase, such as night guards, that are placed in your mouth at night in order to promote breathing through the nose.

A good way to prevent your from sleeping on your back, which can make snoring worse, is to sew something on the back of your shirt that will be uncomfortable if you roll over on it. This will make you less likely to ever sleep in a position where you are on your back.

Don't be afraid to try several things as you never know what will finally do the trick.
