4. Don’t eat too much in the evening
It’s never a good idea to eat too much, but especially avoid doing this right before bedtime. Particularly when the food in question contains a lot of fat or sugar, it can disrupt your digestive system, which makes it harder to fall asleep. We don’t recommend consuming dairy products before bed either, because these can leave behind a slimy layer in your throat and that can block your airways. This, in turn, can cause you to snore.
5. Take a hot shower
Having a cold can have a lot of influence on your snoring tendencies. When you have a cold, your airways narrow, after all. Taking a hot shower or bath can loosen up your snot and mucous, which will open up your airways.
6. Do tongue and throat exercises
By training your tongue, the lower part of your pharynx and your soft palate, you can reduce your snoring as well. These parts of your mouth usually relax when you are asleep and this causes the airflow to be limited, which might make you snore. By doing exercises, you can train these areas of your mouth, which hopefully leads to them not relaxing as much when you sleep. There are four handy exercises that you should do for eight minutes every day that can really make a difference. Take a look at the video below for the instructions:
