How to Stop Snoring Now
If you are a person who snores and you are looking for a way to stop snoring, you should do yourself a favor and skip all the gimmicks like snoring pillows and full body pillows and mouthpieces and all the other Band-aid snoring solutions and go straight to your doctor. Your doctor can refer you for a sleep study, where you spend a night at a sleep clinic, hooked up to medical testing equipment to see exactly what your problem is.
If you snore, you are also very likely to suffer from sleep apnea without even knowing it. Sleep apnea occurs when your body, which is struggling for breath because of the snoring, gives up temporarily. You stop breathing. After a minute of this, your body senses the lack of oxygen and panics, causing you to start breathing again with a snort. This constant struggle keeps you from ever achieving a deep sleep, and leaves you tired in the morning, even if you’ve gotten 8 or 10 hours of sleep.
If you get a sleep study done, the doctor can look at the actual results and see how many episodes of apnea you have experienced. You can then get a prescription for a medically proven piece of equipment that will not only prevent apneas, it will also stop your snoring for good! The machine is called a CPAP, or Constant Positive Air Pressure machine. It attaches to your nose (or sometimes it covers your nose and mouth) through a hose. The machine pushes a constant stream of air into your nostrils, which serves to inflate your air passages very slightly, just enough to keep them open and allow the air to flow through freely.
Many people are amazed at the difference after just a single night with the CPAP machine. They thought the tiredness they have been experiencing was from changes due to aging or stress, when they’ve been silently suffering from sleep apnea without knowing it! If you wake up tired every day and never feel rested even after a long night’s sleep, do yourself a big favor and ask your doctor about going for a sleep study.
