Snoring is a very unsociable condition that can cause many sleepless nights for those not afflicted.

Making your spouse or partner suffer through snoring does not have to continue however.

Here are four inexpensive methods to help you stop snoring. Maybe you can find something that will work for you here before you consider more costly remedies.

Try Sleeping Supine

A lot of people snore simply because they sleep with their mouths open. When the nasal passages and throat vibrate the familiar snoring sound escapes through the mouth.

When a snorer sleeps on their stomach however, it forces them to sleep with their mouths closed. The throat and nasal passages still vibrate, but the noise has nowhere to go, thus no snoring and peaceful sleep for all.

Lubricate The Nasal Passages

A more severe form of vibration and in turn snoring, is caused when the nasal passages are dry. This usually occurs from sleeping with your mouth open or when you are suffering from a cold.

Try using a lubricating throat spray, this can help moisturize the throat and nasal passages thus relieving the vibration. This method is a great alternative for people who do not want to deal with uncomfortable or expensive stop snoring devices.

Use A Nasal Separator

A nasal separator is a small stop snoring device that fits into both the nostrils and lifts them outwards.

This opens up the airway and allows more air through. Getting more air to flow through is one way to lessen the amount of vibration. This device looks similar to a nose plug, that works in reverse.

Use Pillows

This method is really simple, place a pillow in between your legs and sleep on your side.

Although this may be uncomfortable at first, sleeping on your side helps you to keep your mouth closed. This traps the sound of the vibrations, keeping them from getting out and keeping your partner awake.

This is perhaps one of the easiest and cheapest ways to stop snoring. It avoids having to purchase an expensive stop snoring device and utilizes something that you already have around your house, a pillow.

These four ways to stop snoring are all simple and inexpensive. You should certainly try these before you look for more expensive remedies such as those available at you local pharmacy or physician.
