Lifestyle & Diet Advice

You can reduce your risks of snoring and sleep apnoea by often changing some common lifestyle choices. This is the first step of any successful treatment and is called sleep hygiene.

Weight Loss

If you're overweight, losing weight may reduce the pressure on your neck creating a more effective air flow.

Avoid sleeping on your back

Sleeping on your back can cause your tongue to fall backwards blocking your airway, making it more difficult to breathe. Sleeping on your side reduces this and also reduces pressure on your neck.

Smoking Cessation

Smoking can cause inflammation of the tissues in the airway, This inflammation then restricts airflow.

Drink Less Alcohol

Alcohol can cause relaxation of the muscles again restricting airflow.
