There are many devices on the market which claim to help people stop snoring. One particular type of product is a gum shield known as a mandibular device. This is used to push the lower jaw forward which opens up the airway and stops the tongue vibrating against the back of your throat. This means that snoring will be minimised.
Suffering from a blocked nose at night can be very uncomfortable and can result in you snoring when you finally do fall asleep. Its common knowledge that you will probably have a blocked nose if you get a cold or flu and this is where a device called a nasal dilator can help open up your nasal passages.
If a person snores because they sleep with their mouth open, many companies offer a special device which is designed to help eliminate this problem. The device is a type of chin strap which is designed to keep a persons mouth closed whilst they sleep which will mean that they are much less likely to snore during the night.
People who suffer from a condition known as sleep apnea sometimes use a piece of equipment called a CPAP machine (continuous positive airway pressure). This piece of equipment keeps the airway open by using air pressure so that breathing whilst asleep continues normally. In extreme cases, its also used as a devise to stop people snoring.
Anti-snoring pillows are now widely available through both high street retailers and on the internet. These pillows act as a device to stop snoring by helping keep your airways open. This means that you are much less likely to snore. This type of pillow is also an orthopaedic aid as it will support your head and neck whilst you sleep.
There are lots of devices on the market which claim to help stop people snoring. However, rather than spending a lot of money trying these out, why not try something rather more simple? Just sew a pocket onto the back of your pyjamas, put a tennis ball in it and there you have it a device which will stop you sleeping on your back and so reduce the chances of you snoring.
If you are a persistent snorer, your partner is probably frantically searching for a device that will make you stop. In extreme cases and if nothing else has worked, surgery may offer a solution. However, unless you have a medical condition such as serious sleep apnea, surgery should be seen very much as a last resort.
Obesity and/or smoking are two of the major factors which increase the chances of you snoring. If you are overweight, your muscle tone will generally be poor. This means that your throat muscles will be weak and will vibrate more when you are asleep. If you smoke, your nasal passages are more likely to be blocked. So, rather than spending a fortune on advertised devices which will stop you snoring, you can probably cure yourself.
