Ten Ways to Stop Snoring Now
Hi there,
My name is James, I’m your average 30 something man. Around my late teens I started snoring, loud! It wasn’t too much of a problem during my College years, but things changed quickly when I got married.
It got to the point that it kept my wife up at night and it would even wake up the kids sleeping down the hallway! After years of neglecting this problem, I finally decided to take of it (let’s just say that my wife didn’t give me much of a choice!).
I started consulting doctors. Talked with friends and colleagues who suffered from the same problem as me. I also did a lot of research on the Internet and tried a number of different products. Within a few weeks I was snoring-free!
The information I found on the Internet was very helpful, but sometimes, very confusing. I decided to put up this small website, QuitSnoring.org, to help others like me who suffers from a snoring problem and want to get rid of it.
At the end of the day, it was a specific product, the Jaw Supporter from My Snoring Solution, which helped me stop snoring completely. There are also a couple of things I did prior to using the Jaw Supporter which helped reduce my snoring - although it’s the Jaw Supporter that completely stopped it.
Now, let me tell you exactly the 10 things I did to stop snoring.
- 1. I elevated my head with a pillow. I did not use just any pillow, I used a firm pillow. Too soft of a pillow made my muscles relax too much, causing my airways to be more narrow.
2. I also stopped drinking alcohol and quit smoking. Drinking causes the muscles in the neck to relax too much, causing a blocked airway. Smoking, I learned, inflames the tissue of the airways.
3. Like I said, I love milk and ice cream. However, I had to avoid certain foods for at least an hour before going to bed.
4. I decided to lose some weight. I was overweight and out of shape, and this did not allow for a lot of space for the airways. I started exercising.
5. I tried to sleep on my side as much as possible. Somebody told me that if I sewed something uncomfortable to the back of my shirt, like a tennis ball, that would help me to sleep on my side. When most people snore, they snore while lying on their back.
6. I also started sleeping regularly. Before, sometimes I would go to bed at midnight sometimes 2 a.m. I tried to get more in the habit of going to sleep at the same time and waking up at the same time.
7. Honey also helped me to stop snoring. The sugar in honey is basically good for you and it also helped to coat and lubricate my throat.
8. I tried as much as possible to keep from eating a big meal right before going to bed. I found that if I had more food in my stomach, I had more pressure on my diaphragm, which limited my ability to breathe correctly.
9. I also tried to avoid rich food as much as possible. Ice cream, cake, super-sugary desserts…I love these things, but I limited how much I ate of them.
These 9 tips helped reduce my snoring, but they didn’t stop it. I then decided to check the different products available on the market, and, like many of you, I used nasal strips, pills and sprays. One of my friend, who also had a snoring problem recommend me a product that finally got me to stop snoring.
- 10. I used the Jaw Supporter from My Snoring Solution. It was created by Stephen Matthews. For me, it had an immediate effect, as I completely stopped snoring in the first week I started using it. Their website does a great job of explaining what the Jaw Supporter does, so I suggest you go over there and read through it. You have nothing to lose by trying it, since they offer a 90-day money back guarantee. Order it, try it, and if you don’t stop snoring, return it.
All I can say is that my snoring was horrible. My spouse hated it and even my children could sometimes hear me. I suggest doing everything you can to get rid of it. These are the 10 steps that helped me the most and “cured” me. You may have tried step 1 to 9 already – if you have, and you still snore, I strongly suggest you try the Jaw Supporter.
