New Year's resolution to stop snoring ?

If you've made a New Year's resolution that you're going to stop your snoring, there are a lot of different things that you can do to aid in that process. You might want to do it for yourself or for a loved one. No matter what the reason, there are ways that you can stop snoring for good. One of the things you should definitely do is elevate your head. If you sleep on a thicker pillow or on multiple pillows you'll have a much better chance of stopping your snoring. Also avoid things that can make your snoring worse like alcohol, sleeping pills, antihistamines, tranquilizers, and dairy products right before going to sleep. Losing weight can be a great way to quit snoring, so if you're overweight you can work on getting leaner. There are many other health benefits to that as well. A lot of people who snore are back sleepers, but you can train yourself to sleep on your side, and that will also reduce how much you snore. You might feel strange for a little while, but you'll soon get comfortable and be able to sleep much better. If you really need incentive to stop lying on your back, sew a tennis ball to the back of your shirt. The discomfort of lying on it will make you roll onto your side.

You should have a regular routine that you follow before bed time, and you should avoid rich foods and big meals right before you go to sleep, for all sorts of health reasons. You can, though, take just a little bit of honey right before you go to bed, which is supposed to help with snoring. Smokers should quit, and if you're a smoker and don't want to kick the habit you should avoid smoking right before you go to bed. Smokers snore more than those people who don't share their habit. Other things you can do include sleeping on a firm pillow or taking over-the-counter pills or other remedies – such as nasal strips – to try to curb your snoring. If nothing works and it's affecting your sleep, you should see a professional who can help you.
