Hi..., If you're overweight, lose weight. People who are overweight may have extra tissues in the throat that contribute to snoring. Losing weight can help reduce snoring....Sleep on your side. Lying on your back allows your tongue to fall backward into your throat, narrowing your airway and partially obstructing airflow. Try sleeping on your side.... Limit or avoid alcohol and sedatives.... Quit smoking. Smoking cessation may reduce snoring...
