Cures for Snoring
June 16, 2008
The market is flooded with gadgets that claim to beat snoring. But do they work and how do they compare with traditional remedies? We tried ten ‘cures for snoring‘ and a snoring expert for their verdict.
Certain things should be kept well and truly behind closed bedroom doors, and this is one of them. But in the interests of medical science I will reveal a disturbing truth about my nightlife: I snore.
I’m not alone. Up to 40 per cent of middle-aged men snore. And not just men, as wives might have us believe, it’s up to 28 per cent of middle-aged women too.
But in my family, I am the sole culprit, which is why I agreed to test a range of anti-snoring devices and techniques as cures for snoring. Snoring is the noise made when air causes the throat area or the nasal passages to vibrate.
The main causes are being overweight, smoking and alcohol. I plead guilty to two or three glasses of wine each evening and a cigarette a day, but I don’t feel overweight. My mission: to stop snoring in ten days. First, says the British Snoring and Sleep Apnoea Association, I must test to see if the noise is coming from my nose or my throat. If you can make a snoring noise with your mouth open and closed, try this: stick your tongue out as far as it will go and grip it between your teeth. Now try to make a snoring noise. If it is reduced, you are probably a ‘tongue base snorer’ (your tongue is vibrating, causing the problem). Nose snorers can snore with their mouth closed.
