Some people are very heavy and serious snorers. For the rest of us we typically snore on occasion. Even is the snoring is not an enormous problem for you, wouldn't it be nice to know how to make it stop? With just a few alterations to your routine at night, the snoring can be stopped.

Breathing through your mouth is bad when you are laying down because it lowers the jaw and allows the tongue to fall back. This causes snoring, but you can train yourself not to breath through your mouth. When you notice incorrect breathing, focus on correcting it to train yourself to breath correctly.

The position you lay in when you sleep can have a lot to do with your snoring. If you make it so you sleep on you side instead of your back it will make snoring not as frequent. Using pillows you can place one behind your back and the other between your legs to be comfortable and remain on your side. Some people have tried a tennis ball sewn to the pajamas to make them turn back over when they roll onto their backs.

If your nasal passages and throat are too dry, this can cause snoring. Using sprays can help keep your nose and throat moist. A humidifier is very useful for keeping the air you breath moist too.

Nasal strips are a useful product on the market today. These strips adhere to the outside of your nose and open the airways. Children that snore can find relief with them too.

The more tired or exhausted you are the more likely you are to snore. Be sure to get enough sleep. Having a set time for sleeping every night that does not change can help.

For people that smoke it can be harder to eliminate snoring. Smoking causes sleep apnea and changes the amount of mucus you have. A smoker's airways are also going to be inflamed.

Drinking alcohol can make snoring more likely, as can being overweight. There is more flesh for the air to have to get past in an overweight person. Losing weight may stop the snoring altogether.
