Many of us snore in our sleep without realizing it. But do you know that there are many reasons for snoring.

Append below some of the reasons that caused snoring:

  • obstructed nasal airways from swollen mucous membranes
  • poor muscle tone of the tongue and throat and
  • the nose and throat membranes become dry and swollen
  • being overweight and drinking too much alcoholic beverages, sleeping pills or anti-histamines before bedtime which cause dehydration that may result in snoring

One natural way to avert snoring is to try to sleep on your front or side with your head slightly raise. If possible, try not to fall asleep flat on your back.

Otherwise, there are medicated nasal sprays in the market that are formulated to help keep mucuous membrane of the nose and pharynx lubricated and moist. This hydrating action enables the membranes to stay out of contact with each other when air passes through.
