Millions of people all over the worl suffer from snoring problems every time they go to sleep. But its not just the snorer who suffers. Anyone who sleeps in the same bed as a snorer will also be affected. And in many cases, those who share a house, flat or home are also affected by the sound of snoring. So no one sleeps properly! Snoring can not only lead to soreness, the loss of a good night’s sleep can lead to fatigue both in the snorer and those affected. It only takes a few nights of snoring for tiredness to become a problem – so snoring cures are widely sought and with great urgency. As a result, there are many anti snoring products available, but how many of these actually stop snoring?

If you suffer from snoring, or are close to someone who snores, the most important thing to know is that snoring can be an indicator of a serious underlying medical condition requiring professional help. People who snore loudly every night or wake up gasping could be suffering from sleep apnea which is a very serious breathing disorder. Sleep apnea may increase the risk of stroke and heart attack, and requires the attention of a doctor or medical professional. No anti snoring product on the market is designed to deal with sleep apnea, and any one snoring badly should first visit a doctor to rule this out before looking for an over the counter remedy.

There are lots of anti snoring solutions available on the market. Some of the names are Snore Relief, Snorenz, Snore Zip, Never Snore, and Breathe Right Nasal Congestion Relief. Also, there are a lot of different ways in which they try to help you stop snoring. There are nasal sprays, oral sprays, nasal strips, dental devices, chin straps and mouthpieces to prevent snoring. Sprays and strips are cheap, easy to apply and use so they tend to be popular and numerous. Most sprays are used orally and are applyed by being squirted towards the back of the throat. Nasal strips are applied on the surface of the nose and act to open the nasal passages wider.

Different sprays are said to work in different ways. The way most anti-snoring sprays work is to reduce inflammation in the sinus or the throat. Some sprays say they work by moistening the soft palate. Others claim to work by firming up loose tissues at the back of the throat. So it depends on the exact cause of the snoring whether or not it will work. But there’s no published scientific evidence that these sprays stop snoring, so its very much down to the individuals experience.

The USA Food and Drug Administration has allowed a number of stop snoring nasal strips to advertise that they ‘reduce snoring’, so that would seem to be evidence that they have a wider application. But as with the snore sprays it really is down to each individual and what works for them.

But bear in mind there are many remedies for snoring which don’t cost any money at all. Medical experts have said that a simple loss of weight could be the difference between snoring and not snoring. They also advise that smoking can be a cause and stopping snoring would be one more benefit of giving up smoking. Another cause is drinking alcohol soon before going to bed. But it is also worth considering the possibility of an allergy which could be helped by simply changing the type of bedding you use. In all cases, it is the cause of snoring which dictates the remedy. Don’t just go out and buy the product with te best advertising, go and find out what has worked for others and consider if the same might apply to you.
