Around 45% of adults snore and about 75% of them suffer from sleep apnea. If you are one of them, try these simple techniques to naturally stop snoring. Also, your sleep partner may also appreciate it. Sleep apnea can turn dangerous and even life threatening if it is not treated.

Snoring occurs when the tongue and tissues of the mouth block the airway. These tissues over relax to the point where they fall into the back of the throat. The sound of snoring is when air is trying to pass through the blockage and causes the tissues to vibrate. It's not that uncommon for a person snoring to stop breathing several times while sleeping. The 7 techniques below may help with snoring and sleep apnea.

1.) Stop drinking alcohol or using sedatives a few hours before bed. These cause the muscles to relax and that includes the tongue and tissues of the mouth.

2.) Losing excess weight is a big way to naturally stop snoring and sleep apnea. People that are obese tend to have extra weight around their neck. This excess weight presses against the throat. This can cause the airway to restrict and make it easier for the tissues to block it.

3.) Stop drinking alcohol a couple hours before bed. Alcohol can cause the tongue and tissues of the mouth to over relax and fall into the airway.

4.) Cut out dairy products a couple hours before you sleep. Dairy causes mucus build up in the throat and nasal passages. The build up can make it harder to breath and cause snoring.

5.) Snoring mouthpieces are a great way to naturally stop snoring. These special mouthpieces help reposition the lower jaw forward while you sleep. Repositioning the jaw forward makes it hard for the tongue to fall into the back of the throat.

6.) Keep the nasal passages clean and open while you sleep. Many people use neti pots or breathing strips to help.

7.) Try doing tongue, throat and mouth exercises designed for snoring and sleep apnea. These unique exercises help build up strength in the tongue and tissues. This helps keep the tongue and tissues from falling into the airway.

These are a few simple methods that may help. It depends on the person if they work or not. Try some of these and I hope they work.
