The causes of snoring.
Snoring is caused by a narrowing of your airway, either from poor sleep posture or abnormalities of the soft tissues in your throat. A narrow airway gets in the way of smooth breathing and creates the sound of snoring. The position of the tongue can also get in the way of smooth breathing.

Tips
1. The tennis ball trick
Do you sleep on your back? Try to sleep with a tennis ball (or any ball of approximately the same size) attached to the back of your pajama top. You can safety-pin a sock to the back of the pajama top, then put a tennis ball in it). The tennis ball is uncomfortable if you lie on your back, and soon you will develop side-sleeping as a habit and not need the tennis ball.

2. Lose weight Even a little bit of weight loss can reduce fatty tissue in the back of the throat and decrease snoring.

3. Sleep on your side.

4. Elevate your head – Try elevating the head of your bed four inches, which may make breathing easier and encourage your tongue and jaw to move forward. Sleep without a pillow (or with a specially designed pillow) to make sure your neck muscles are not crimped.

5. Avoid certain foods, alcohol and medications before bed Alcohol and certain medications increase relaxation of throat and tongue muscles, which makes snoring more likely. Sleeping pills or tranquilizers may help you sleep, but they will also relax your muscles and increase the chance of snoring. High-fat milk products or soy milk products cause mucus to build up in the throat which can lead to snoring as well.

6. Clear your nasal passages - Having a stuffy nose makes inhalation difficult and creates a vacuum in your throat, which in turn leads to snoring. Nasal decongestants or nasal strips may help you breathe more easily while sleeping. Antihistamines can help with allergies, but will relax throat muscles and cause snoring.

7. Get fit and lose weight.Strengthening and tightening the muscles of the throat and losing weight will open airways and diminish snoring.

8. If you smoke, quit.Smoke irritates the tissue of the upper respiratory tract, causing the congestion and swelling that can lead to snoring.
