Easy Fixes for Snoring
You may be among the 45% of normal adults who snore at
least occasionally or you likely know someone who does. He (or she) may be the
brunt of jokes at family gatherings ("Uncle Joe snores so loudly he
rattles the windows!"), but snoring is serious business.
For one, a snoring spouse often keeps the other person
from a good night's sleep, which can eventually lead to separate bedrooms.
"Snoring can create real problems in a marriage," says Daniel P.
Slaughter, MD, an otolaryngologist and snoring expert at Capital Otolaryngology
in Austin, Texas.
Not only is snoring a nuisance, but 75% of people who
snore have obstructive sleep apnea (when breathing is disrupted during sleep
for short periods), which increases the risk of developing heart disease,
Slaughter says.
Use caution before you self-treat with over-the-counter
sprays and pills until you've checked with your doctor, says Sudhansu
Chokroverty, MD, FRCP, FACP, program director for Clinical Neurophysiology and
Sleep Medicine at JFK Medical Center in Edison, N.J. "Many stop-snoring
aids are marketed without scientific studies to support their claims,"
says Chokroverty, who is also a neuroscience professor at Seton Hall
University's School of Health and Medical Sciences.
Instead, try these natural solutions and lifestyle
changes, which may help you stop snoring.
