Snoring

There are different reasons for snoring but in most cases, snoring is caused by vibrations of soft tissues in the throat when breathing during sleep. Snoring is defined as a coarse sound made by vibrations of the soft palate and other tissues in the mouth, nose and upper airway.

• Keeping control of your weight as overweight people are more likely to snore because their airways are squashed by fat deposits.
• Reducing alcohol consumption especially before bedtime.
• Stopping smoking as smoke irritates the soft tissue of the nose and throat.
• Sleeping on your side or on your front.
• Using a Liposome-based lubricating spray designed to reduce or eliminate snoring noise.
• Snorers suffering from the particular sleep condition Sleep Apnoea may need to consult their doctor.
• If you are uncertain of what causes your snoring and the remedies that are available, ask our pharmacist for advice.
