An estimated one in five Australians snore regularly, and while it\u2019s often treated as a punchline, the reality is that persistent snoring can be a sign of something more serious \u2014 and it\u2019s worth taking it seriously.<\/p><p>The good news is there\u2019s a range of lifestyle adjustments that may help reduce snoring. But first, it\u2019s worth understanding what snoring can sometimes indicate<\/p><table style=\"width: 94.4542%;\" width=\"624\"><tbody><tr><td style=\"width: 100%;\" width=\"624\"><p><em><strong>Important: In around 20% of cases, regular snoring is a symptom of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) \u2014 a medical condition where the airway repeatedly collapses during sleep. If you snore frequently, speak to your doctor about whether a sleep study is appropriate before trying home remedies.<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><p>\u00a0<\/p><h3>Could your snoring be a sign of obstructive sleep apnea?<\/h3><p>Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is defined by the Sleep Health Foundation as \u201cthe complete or partial blockage of the upper airway during sleep, causing disrupted breathing.\u201d It affects an estimated 775,000 Australians and is associated with serious health consequences if left untreated, including cardiovascular risk, poor daytime functioning, and reduced quality of life.<\/p><p>Snoring is one of the most common signs of OSA \u2014 but it\u2019s not the only one. Other symptoms include:<\/p><ul><li>Waking feeling unrefreshed despite a full night\u2019s sleep<\/li><li>Excessive daytime sleepiness<\/li><li>Waking gasping or choking<\/li><li>Observed breathing pauses during sleep (reported by a partner)<\/li><li>Morning headaches<\/li><\/ul><p>If any of these sound familiar, speak to your GP. A sleep study will help to confirm or rule out OSA.<\/p><h3>If you\u2019ve been diagnosed with OSA: SomnoMed oral appliances<\/h3><p>If a sleep study confirms obstructive sleep apnea, your doctor may refer you to a dentist trained in dental sleep medicine. SomnoMed oral appliances are mandibular advancement devices \u2014 custom-fitted medical devices clinically proven to treat mild-to-moderate OSA by gently repositioning the jaw to keep the airway open during sleep.<\/p><p>SomnoMed devices are FDA-approved and designed as an alternative to CPAP therapy or corrective surgery for eligible patients. Addressing the underlying OSA is the priority; a reduction in snoring may follow as a result of effective treatment.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/somnomed.com\/au\/patients\/find-a-dental-sleep-medicine-expert\/\"><strong>Find a SomnoMed provider near you<\/strong><\/a><\/p><h3>10 lifestyle tips that may help reduce snoring<\/h3><p>If your doctor has assessed you and OSA is not a concern, or while you are awaiting a sleep study, the following lifestyle adjustments may help reduce snoring. Note that these are not treatments for obstructive sleep apnea.<\/p><p><strong><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">1. Lose weight if appropriate<\/span><\/strong><\/p><p>Carrying excess weight, particularly around the neck, can constrict the airway and increase the likelihood of snoring. Weight loss is not a guaranteed fix, but there is good evidence it can reduce snoring severity in people who carry excess weight.<\/p><p><strong>2. Stay hydrated<\/strong><\/p><p>Dehydration can cause sticky mucus to form in the nasal passages, restricting airflow at night. Staying well hydrated throughout the day may help. A general baseline of <span style=\"color: #00549d;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #00549d;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.health.harvard.edu\/staying-healthy\/how-much-water-should-you-drink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">4 to 6 cups<\/a><\/strong><\/span> of water per day is a reasonable starting point, though individual needs vary.<\/p><p><strong>3. Change your sleep position<\/strong><\/p><p>Sleeping on your back causes the tongue to fall toward the back of the throat, narrowing the airway. Try sleeping on your side instead. A<strong><span style=\"color: #00549d;\"><a style=\"color: #00549d;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/322296\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> body pillow<\/a><\/span><\/strong> can help you stay in that position through the night.<\/p><p><strong><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">4. Prioritise sleep<\/span><\/strong><\/p><p>When you are sleep-deprived, the muscles of the throat relax more than usual, making airway obstruction \u2014 and therefore snoring \u2014 more likely. Poor sleep and snoring can create a self-reinforcing cycle. Developing a consistent sleep routine, limiting screen time before bed, and reducing caffeine intake can all help.<\/p><p><strong><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">5. Elevate your head<\/span><\/strong><\/p><p>If sleeping on your back is difficult to avoid, elevating your head by a few inches may prevent your tongue from falling back and partially blocking the airway. A wedge-shaped pillow that supports the back and shoulders can help achieve this.<\/p><p><strong><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">6. Avoid alcohol before bed<\/span><\/strong><\/p><p>Alcohol relaxes the muscles in the throat, increasing the likelihood of airway obstruction and snoring. Avoiding alcohol in the hours before sleep is one of the simplest adjustments you can make.<\/p><p><strong>7. Open your nasal passages<\/strong><\/p><p>Blocked or narrowed nasal passages \u2014 from a cold, allergies, or a structural issue like a deviated septum \u2014 can contribute to snoring. Nasal strips, saline rinses, or a hot shower before bed may help open the passages and improve airflow.<\/p><p><strong>8. Avoid sedatives<\/strong><\/p><p>Sedatives can have a similar effect to alcohol, relaxing the throat muscles and making snoring more likely. If you take sedatives to sleep and also snore, speak to your doctor about alternative approaches.<\/p><p><strong>9. Quit smoking<\/strong><\/p><p>Smoking irritates and inflames the respiratory tract, can cause congestion, and is associated with an increased risk of OSA. Quitting smoking has numerous health benefits \u2014 reducing airway irritation is one of them.<\/p><p><strong>10. See your doctor<\/strong><\/p><p>If your snoring is frequent, loud, or accompanied by any of the symptoms listed earlier, the most important step is to speak to your GP. Snoring that may be linked to obstructive sleep apnea should be properly assessed \u2014 lifestyle changes alone are not a treatment for OSA.<\/p><h3>The bottom line<\/h3><p>Snoring is common, but it\u2019s not always harmless. If you snore regularly, the first step is ruling out obstructive sleep apnea with your doctor. If OSA is confirmed, effective medical treatment is available \u2014 including SomnoMed oral appliances for suitable patients.<\/p><p>If OSA has been ruled out, the lifestyle tips above are a sensible starting point for reducing snoring and improving your sleep.<\/p><p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #00549d;\"><a style=\"color: #00549d; text-decoration:
