Snoring Cures – Which Ones Worth The Money?

28th April, 2009 - Posted by health news - No Comments

Snoring is a major problem in the world of today — and yesterday, and the day before – and there are many snoring cures on the market, ranging in cost from a few cents for a bit of sticking plaster to go of your nose (making you look like a rugby player) to expensive surgery to tighten the muscles of the throat costing thousands of dollars.

Why Snoring Cures are so important

Living with a snorer can be an absolute nightmare, and so the one looking for the snoring cure is usually the long-suffering wife who is desperate enough to hit her husband with a frying pan if only that would stop him snoring the fact that he is not doing it on purpose does not make him any easier to sleep with, and snoring has even been known to lead to divorce.

Snorers themselves wake many times a night without realising it, meaning that they rise the following morning heavy eyed and groggy from poor quality sleep, as it is when the brain drops towards REM sleep that the snoring problem really starts; throat muscles often collapsing in on themselves and blocking the airway, making the snorer wake with a start before attempting to drift off to sleep again – and REM sleep is absolutely essential to relaxing and refreshing the mind and body.

My other half has snored for the last 20 years, and he has only been persuaded to try a snoring cure by my absolute insistence that the racket he makes can be heard down the street, and that if he does not do something about it he will have to go and sleep in the doghouse and hope that the dog does not mind the noise as much as I do!

Some people are physically predisposed towards snoring, with heavy necks and lower jaws, but for most people the reason tends to be being overweight, drinking alcohol and smoking – probably all three so the ideal cure is to lose weight, go teetotal and stop smoking but hey, this is reality.

Which Snoring Cures are most comfortable?

Snoring cures vary, with some consisting of a spray which coats the mouth and base of the tongue to reduce vibration, and some consisting of a strip of plaster over the nose, or nostril dilators that actually go up the nose to hold the nostrils open – these last are apparently not painful but take a bit of getting used to — and I have seen one snoring cure that involves a band round the jaw and the top of the head to keep the jaw forward.

The most radical snoring cure for someone with a chronic snoring habit (and a wife who is about to jump off the roof) is an operation to remove some of the loose throat tissues that are causing the problem; however this option should not be approached lightly as the cost is high, the pain after the operation is considerable, and there is no guarantee of a cure.
