It can be amusing or even funny to hear someone snore. But if you live with someone who snores, like a family member or relative, the sound could be very bothersome. If you can't get a good night's sleep and wake up several times in the middle of the night because of a sound that can be as loud as a lawnmower or a jet engine, you might want to look into anti-snoring devices.
Here are some popular anti-snoring devices you can buy for a family member who is keeping you up at night:
- Anti snoring pillow
People who snore sometimes do so because they don't sleep in the right way. This causes the airway to get bigger and smaller, making it harder for air to get in and out. To stop this from happening, there are pillows that relax your airways and keep you in the right sleeping position so you don't snore all night.
Spray for the throat
The snoring spray is a natural way to stop snoring. Natural ingredients are used to make snoring spray, and when sprayed on the throat, the essential oils lubricate the throat and reduce the amount of vibration, which stops snoring. But it's funny that when throat spray is used a lot, it can make people snore more.
Before using throat spray, the patient needs to be checked out by a doctor to avoid any other problems.
- Nasal dilators
Nasal dilators, which are usually made of a stainless steel coil or plastic, keep the airways open, which reduces the vibrations in the throat that cause snoring. To use a nasal dilator, you put it into your nose.
- Nasal strips
Nasal strips, like nasal dilators, are used to open up the nose's airways and keep the right amount of airflow while sleeping. Plastic is often used to make nasal strips. This is one of the most popular ways to stop snoring because it is safe, cheap, and works. In fact, athletes use nasal strips to help them breathe and get more air while they play.
- Track Your Sleeping Position
This thing makes a beeping sound when the snorer moves into a position where he usually snores (sleeping on their back). But if you are related to a snorer and want him to stop snoring, this device may cause a whole new set of problems. But the goal of this device is not to stop the snorer from keeping you up in the middle of the night. Instead, it's there to teach you a new way to sleep.
The sleep position monitor can be taken off once the person who snores starts sleeping on his side.
- Snore ball
Snore ball is put on the snorer's back (inside his pajama). When he changes from sleeping on his side to sleeping on his back, the snore ball gives off pain, or discomfort. It keeps the person who snores from sleeping on his back. It might not be the thing a person wants to feel in the middle of the night, but some people really need it to change their sleeping position for good. Some people make snore balls out of golf balls, baseballs, or tennis balls.
All of these anti-snoring devices can stop a person from snoring, but snoring can also be caused by other health problems that may need medical help. Have your friend or family member see a doctor to be safe and find out what kind of care he needs.
