Snoring: Everyone knows how snoring can affect the sleep of the person who's snoring and people around him. Many times it results in other people leaving the room or complaining about it later on. But there are ways to get this problem away from your body. What are they? Dr Hansaji Yogendra has solutions to prevent your habit with the help of some habits and therapies. Let's take a look.

How Snoring Can Cause Problems for Self and Others?

While snoring can be disturbing for others too but it is certainly a bigger issue for self. Dr H B Chandrashekar says that while sleeping all the muscles in the body relax and that is why the structures in our nose start vibrating and cause snoring. It can also be obstructive sleep apnea. In this, the airways collapse during sleep and resulting in an insufficient supply of oxygen in the lungs. Because of this, the other system can be damaged like the heart etc. People with sleep apnea can develop High Blood Pressure obesity, irregular heartbeats, atrial fibrillation, pulmonary hypertension as well as stroke. But there are ways to conquer this problem. 

How To Deal With It?

Here, Dr Hansaji Yogendra suggests a few ways to deal with the unwanted snoring that causes problems. 

1. Sleep on Your Side

Dr Hansaji Yogendra suggests that sleeping on your back came a problematic way to welcome snoring. She said that sleeping on the back can sometimes make your tongue roll backwards that can block your nasal passages and ultimately result in snoring. To prevent one should sleep on their side. 

2. Elevate Your Head On Bed

Well, people with spondylitis or cervical issues are definitely advised to avoid it but the rest can raise their heads while sleeping. The doctor suggests that when you sleep on your side and raise your head the nasal passage opens completely resulting in prevention from snoring. You can use a pillow to do that or try and test which length is suitable for you.

3. Aroma Therapy for Snoring 

People who use aroma always maintain their sleep well. Actually, smelling oils like Eucalyptus oil or Lavender oil keep your air passages clean and avoid congestion. You can use these Aromas while taking a bath or before sleeping.

4. Avoid Sedatives Before Sleeping

Dr suggests that one should avoid taking sedatives before sleeping as it can cause snoring. One can do Yogas like Anulom Vilom before sleeping for a sound sleep without any nasal problems.

5. Reduce Fat Around Neck

Fat around the neck can also be a cause of snoring. To reduce it you can do neck or face stretches. Simha Mudra is another useful way to help with neck fat loss which ultimately creates a clean passage for air. 

Apart from this Doctor Hansaji Yogendra also suggested that mucus-producing food items like dairy foods, sugary foods, and soya food items can cause snoring.
