I sleep with a snorer, which often leaves me feeling frustrated and sleep-deprives. If you sleep with a snorer too, I’m sure you feel my pain! But as frustrating as it can be for me, I know it’s equally frustrating for my husband Dave (the snorer) because it frequently causes him headaches.
When I first realized Dave was a snorer, I bought nasal strips and over-the-counter sleep medicine for him and ear plugs for myself. I even started to research if a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine might help due to how terrible Dave’s snoring was!
Luckily, after learning more about why people snore, I’ve realized that it usually comes down to a few simple problems that can be treated quickly and naturally. Try these home remedies to help avoid snoring-related health problems and finally get a good night’s sleep!

Increase Bedroom Humidity
One of the first snoring remedies you should try is a humidifier in your bedroom. If your bedroom is warm and dry, it can cause your nose to dry out when you inhale and lead to snoring.

Drink Plenty Of Water
Drinking plenty of water throughout the day will help keep your nasal passages moisturized through the night, too.

Sleep Position
If you normally sleep on your back, try sleeping on your side and propping up your head slightly with a pillow. When you sleep on your back, your tongue and soft palate rest against the back of your throat muscles, which can block the airways and cause more snoring.
If you move around in your sleep, there are a couple of ways to prevent yourself from rolling onto your back. One way is to use tape or a strip of cloth to attach a tennis ball to the back of your shirt. Another option is to sleep with a body pillow on either side of you to help hold you in place.

Control Your Weight
Gaining weight, particularly in the neck area, can actually trigger snoring. Losing just 10 percent of your body weight can help ease the constriction of the upper airway and help reduce snoring.
According to the American Academy of Otolaryngology, snoring is most frequent in males and people who are overweight, and it usually worsens with age. To help control snoring,it is important to live a healthy lifestyle by eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly.

Establish Regular Sleep Patterns
If you crawl into bed exhausted every night, you quickly fall into a heavy sleep without much muscle control, which can make snoring worse. So it’s important to make sure you’re getting enough sleep!
Avoid drinking alcohol as much as possible before bed. Instead, opt for a calming chamomile or peppermint tea with a touch of raw honey!

Reduce Bedroom Allergens
Allergens like pollen, dust, and animal dander can cause congestion and irritate your airways, both of which can contribute to snoring.

Here are a few essential oils that can help with snoring:
