How to Cure Snoring - A Guide on How to Cure Snoring Once and For All

Solution 1 - Sleeping Position
Snoring usually happens because the soft tissue in your larynx blocks your air passage when you sleep. The tissue sags the most when sleeping on your back, so, the simplest solution is to try sleeping on your side.


If you have a tendency to roll or move in your sleep, propping pillows in front and behind can help hold you in place. If you or a loved one is handy with a needle and thread, you could even try sewing the props to your sleepwear. If this solution doesn't help much (like in my case), then it's time to move on to a stronger measure.


Solution 2 - Changing Habits
The other common reason for snoring is if you have an unhealthy habit, for example, if you are overweight, smoke, or drink a fair amount of alcohol. Any one of these can be a direct cause of your snoring, in which case you would need to do something about it.


This solution obviously isn't easy, as you will need to make some (possibly big) life changes. Assess your own situation, and seek expert opinions and advice if you think you need to make these changes.


Solution 3 - Sprays
Another solution is to try lubricating your throat before going to sleep. This helps smooth the air passageway, and can reduce the sound of snoring. You can buy many different types of throat moisturizers, with varying degrees of effectiveness.


Solution 4 - Surgery
Recently, there have been innovations regarding surgery to help cure snoring. One procedure involves the injection of a hardening agent into the soft tissue. In some cases, this injection must be repeated a few times to get optimum results.


A second type of surgery that has gained traction is the use of small implants. They are placed at the back of the throat to stiffen the soft tissue, thereby preventing it from sagging.
