What is a god way for my parents to stop snoring?

They just recently got back together and they are 60 years old. They both snore so bad that they keep each other awake at night. They’ve had to resort to sleeping in separate rooms, it’s so bad. What can they try to maybe not snore, or not snore so intensely? They snore in all positions so rolling each other over does not work. Does anyone know if those pillows that are supposed to stop snoring actually work? Does anyone know what they can try?

Normally, snoring is caused by a breathing problem. One of the causes of snoring is a weakening of the soft palate. There are mouth, tongue and throat exercises you can do, to strengthen and tighten it, so it won’t drop and put pressure on the breathing passages, which can cause you to snore.

These exercises can be done by you, taking only minutes a day. It’s worth trying some of these exercises if there’s a chance it could stop you snoring and help you have a good night’s sleep.

Singing and playing a didgeridoo use the same muscles that these exercises us, to help stop snoring.

Even worse than the danger of ruining your relationship because of snoring, is the danger of snoring leading to sleep apnea (sleep apnoea). This condition can reduce the amount of oxygen supplied to the brain, increasing your blood pressure, which can lead to a stroke, heart attack and even death.

Sleep apnea is a serious condition that means you actually stop breathing, sometimes many times during the night, while you are sleeping. At the end of this non-breathing period, you make a sudden, loud gasping sound as you suck air in to get some oxygen.

If you are waking up in the morning, feeling tired or drained after a whole night in bed, suspect sleep apnea. When you have, or suspect you have, sleep apnea, you must see a health professional to determine if there is a physical problem which can be treated.

There are many things you can try to either stop or reduce your snoring.  A few are listed here.

1. Don’t eat for three or four hours before bed. Several types of food, especially milk or other dairy products can cause mucus in the throat, which can worsen snoring.

2. Lose some weight. Sometimes, especially if your snoring is mild, this can stop snoring. When you lose weight, you will lose it everywhere, even in the throat and from your tongue.

3. Have a hot, long shower just before bed. The steam in the shower will help clear the mucus from your throat.

4. Have little or no alcohol before bed. Drinking alcohol is well known to make snoring worse.

5. Get plenty of good quality sleep by going to bed early. When you are tired, you will snore more.

5. Stop smoking. Smoking can irritate the throat, making snoring worse.

6. Raise the head of your bed. Even a small amount can make your tongue less likely to fall back into your throat. A simple way to do this is to place a book or two under the legs at the top of your bed.

7. Minimise the dust in your bedroom.  Wash your sheets and blankets regularly. Think about removing carpet and rugs and use the vacuum regularly.

8. Visit a Chinese herbalist. They’ve been using herbs for thousands of years to fix almost any problem you can think of.

Try as many ways to stop snoring as you can. If any of these methods work, keep using that method while trying others. The more of these ways you try, at the same time, the more chance there is to stop snoring.
