Topic: WAYS TO REDUCE SNORING
Insight:
A sleep disorder is a condition that disrupts a person’s normal sleeping patterns, with various types having distinct symptoms and effects on overall health. Snoring is one of the most common sleep disorders. When snoring becomes severe, medical intervention is recommended. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy or surgery can help alleviate snoring. Sleep on ones side can prevent airway collapse and reduce snoring. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can also effectively improve snoring, such as maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding alcohol and sedatives, and developing good sleep habits. Patients can also reduce snoring through tongue and oropharynx exercises to strengthen the muscles in the mouth and throat.
