One of the common causes of snoring is Poor Sleeping Position
Laying on your back will cause the soft palate and tongue to push towards the throat. This will cause the gurgling and vibrating sound when sleeping. Prevent this by sleeping on your side or by taking a pillow and propping our head higher to prevent the tongue from collapsing to the throat.
If sleeping on your side is not enough, you can use a body pillow to prop your body up on your side. This will make a huge difference in your body’s position.
If you tend to roll over in your sleep you can place a tennis ball on the back of your shirt. This will prevent you from rolling over, without waking you up.
Throat Exercises
Improve your throat muscles and reduce your risk of snoring. Perform thirty minutes of throat exercises a day to see a huge difference.
Singing can help tone the muscles in the throat. Sounding out vowels, closing your mouth and pursing the lips and pushing the tongue back and forth while pressing on the roof of the mouth are other examples of throat exercises.
