Treatments for Snoring
How is snoring treated?
You may be able to treat snoring by making changes in your lifestyle and in the way you prepare for sleep. For example:
- Lose weight if you're overweight.
- Quit smoking.
- Sleep on your side and not your back.
- Limit alcohol and medicines such as sedatives before you go to bed.
- If a stuffy nose makes your snoring worse, use decongestants or nasal corticosteroid sprays.
- Try nasal strips or nasal disks. They attach to the outside of your nose to help with breathing during sleep.
- During sleep, use a device in your mouth that helps you breathe. It pushes your tongue and jaw forward to improve airflow.
If you snore and have sleep apnea, you may be able to use a machine that helps you breathe while you sleep. This treatment is called continuous positive airway pressure, or CPAP (say "SEE-pap"). In rare cases, surgery may be used to treat snoring.
