Snoring is easy to joke about but we soon stop thinking it is a laughing matter if the person WE share our bedroom with is a snorer.

Some of the factors affecting the amount of disharmony from snoring is how loud it is, and how long it lasts.

On the market are a variety of methods, pillows, straps to keep your mouth closed etc. to help the snorer and their near ones. The success rate of these contraptions vary a lot. One of the problems is that they do not address WHY the person is snoring, they just try to shut the person up!

Using a chin strap may bring temporary relief, so may that new pillow as long as you lay on it just in the right way. But since these devices do nothing to correct the cause of the snoring the snoring will return as soon as the device is not used. Not very helpful.

Other natural methods may work to some extent, such as changing position in bed to your side instead of sleeping on your back, yoga, abstaining from alcohol etc. While some of these methods may be helpful, they too will only work as long as you do them.

The important thing for long term success, for nights of quiet and deep sleep is to address the CAUSE. The most common causes for snoring are all related to the tissues and muscles around your airways. A weak soft palate, a tongue lolling back into the throat, stuffy nose, tight muscles around the jaw, are some of the most common causes for you to snore.

What to do about these causes? A few minutes per day doing easy and very specific exercises can tone and firm your tissues and before you know it, you and those sleeping within earshot of you will enjoy peaceful snore free nights.
