9 Top Tips to Reduce Snoring
Most of us do it on occasion, even if we’re not prepared to admit it. But for some, snoring is a serious nightly issue. In fact, approximately 41% of UK adults store (that’s about 15 million of us!). With 75% of us reporting disrupted sleep due to a partner’s snoring, how do we prevent it?
Well, we believe sleeping is an art, and we’re your artists. So, let’s find out…
The Cause
When we’re asleep, our airways relax and narrow. But what’s the real culprit causing some of us to snore? Simply put, it’s soft tissue that vibrates in the upper airway during sleep, when our airways are too narrow for air to travel through normally.
Although we still love our snoring spouses as much as ever, it can affect the blood vessels and muscles within the nose. That’s why we’re here to help you achieve your perfect sleep sanctuary, for your most peaceful nights’ rest.
Now's the time to confront the issue head on. The good news is there are tons of small changes you can make to improve sleep, which will also improve snoring symptoms.
Invest in High-Quality Pillows & Pillowcases
Our premium pillows and pillowcases are designed to provide optimal support for your head and neck. Proper alignment can help keep airways open, reducing the chance of snoring. Experience the difference of our products – crafted from the finest fabrics for ultimate breathability.
Maintain a Healthy Sleep Position
Although we recommend back-sleeping as the number one position, notorious snorers can consider themselves exempt from this rule! Sleeping on your back can cause the tongue and soft tissues to rest in the depths of the throat, leading to snoring. Try sleeping on your side to keep airways open.
Our pillows are made to cater to side sleepers, as well as back and front sleepers – ensuring you stay comfortable throughout the night.
Stay Hydrated
Dehydration can cause nasal passages and the soft palate to become stickier, increasing the risk of snoring. Make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day. Pairing this with our moisture-wicking pillowcases can keep your body feeling regulated all night!
Keep Allergens at Bay
Allergens can contribute to nasal congestion, which in turn can lead to snoring. Our hypoallergenic pillows and pillowcases are designed to repel dust mites, pollen, and other allergens, helping you breathe easier and sleep soundly.
Establish a Regular Sleep Routine
Consistency in your sleep schedule helps regulate your body's internal clock, promoting better sleep quality. Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day. Our luxurious bedding can make your bedtime routine something to look forward to, every night.
Maintain a Healthy Weight
Excess weight, especially around the neck, can put pressure on your airways and lead to snoring. Combining a balanced diet with regular exercise can help. Enjoy the restful sleep needed for recovery with our comfortable bedding.
Limit Alcohol and Sedatives
Alcohol and sedatives can relax the muscles in your throat, increasing the likelihood of snoring. Try to avoid consuming these substances close to bedtime. Our pillows offer the comfort you need to fall asleep naturally without relying on external aids.
Use a Humidifier
Dry air can irritate the membranes in your nose and throat, causing snoring. Using a humidifier in your bedroom can help keep the air fresh. Complement this with our breathable pillowcases to maintain a comfortable sleeping environment.
Practice Good Sleep Hygiene
There you have it! If snoring persists despite trying these tips, it may be time to consult a healthcare professional. Conditions like sleep apnea require medical intervention.
