Recently scientists have claimed that taking a daily pill can stamp out the common snoring disorder, which affects many Britons. Researchers have begun trialling this drug which helps to control obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome.
Condition & Effects
• Sleep Apnoea causes people to stop breathing for periods of time during sleep and often snore very profoundly.
• It makes snorers excessively worn-out and irritable.
• Snoring reduces oxygen in the blood thus reduces the chances of a peaceful night’s sleep.
• More men than women suffer from the problem
This so called “miracle pill” was tested on a number of people who suffered from OSAS (obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome). The pill had a positive effect, with 40% of the participants showing a reduction in symptoms. None of the participants experienced negative effects from taking the drug. From a medical point of view this outcome can be seen as a success. Although its stated that the drug is still in the development stage so there may be a long wait for all you sufferers looking for a quick fix to your snoring problems.
In light of this, let’s look at the other options snorers have:
1. Side sleeping – Now unless you feel comfortable sleeping on your side this will not work, but for all you side sleepers it seems the way to go. While sleeping on your back your muscles in the throat collapse, constricting the airway in your throat.
2. More pillows – Apparently higher or more pillows stops you from snoring, the down side to this method is you can find yourself waking up with a sore neck.
3. No alcohol – According to a number of sources by not drinking alcohol after 8pm helps control snoring. I personally like the odd glass of wine before bed so this method will hurt me the most.
