Can Snoring Be Stopped Completely?

Sleep expert Olivia Arezzolo offers 4 easy and straightforward tips to stop snoring:

1. Maintain a Healthy Weight – Excess weight increases the intensity of snoring, while maintaining a healthy weight can improve or even eliminate the symptoms.

2. Air Quality – Sometimes snoring is caused by pollution, so a well-ventilated room reduces the risk of snoring symptoms.

3. Alcohol Effects – This is the number one cause of snoring. Alcohol relaxes the muscles in the upper airway, enhancing snoring.

4. Sleep on Your Side – Snoring is more pronounced when sleeping on the back, so sleeping on your side can help reduce snoring.
