When should you see a doctor about snoring? Snoring is often harmless, but it can also affect you by reducing the quality of your sleep. According to Get Laid Beds, new data shows that three out of five people say snoring is the worst thing you can do while you sleep. Adult Sleep Coach Charli Davies, founder of Snuzzze, has explained that snoring comes down to our overall lifestyle "from what we eat to the amount of alcohol we drink”. Charli has also listed the five signs that it's time to see a doctor about your snoring: If your snoring has a huge impact on your own sleep quality. If you find difficulty in maintaining a desired level of wakefulness. If you are constantly having morning headaches. If you have trouble with concentration or memory. If you have gained weight recently. There are some lifestyle changes you can make to help reduce your snoring, such as reducing your alcohol consumption. ”It goes without saying then that we can reduce snoring by avoiding alcohol and leading a generally healthy lifestyle," Charli recommends. ”Alcohol relaxes the muscles, and this goes for the muscles in our throats too. This means that your throat can relax too much as you're sleeping and collapse in as you breathe, which causes snoring.” The expert goes on to say that sleeping pills can have "the same effect as alcohol", before adding that "maintaining a healthy weight" can also help. In addition, changing your sleeping position is the most obvious quick fix to your snoring problems. ”The trick I think most people are aware of to reduce snoring is changing sleep position from our backs to our sides, although this doesn't always help," Charli says. ”But if we want to avoid this and reduce waking those that we share a bed with, putting a pillow behind our back can stop (us) rolling onto (it) in the night.” THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
