2 in 5 sleepers across the UK said that their sleep is disturbed by snoring.

Smoking can irritate the mucous membranes in the airways causing them to become inflamed and so restricting airflow through your airways. This can result in increased vibrations as the air moves through, which produces the sound of snoring.
When you drink alcohol, especially before bedtime, your snoring can become louder and more pronounced. Your muscles relax, which narrows your airways and makes it difficult for air to pass through. Alcohol can also irritate and dry out your throat, which makes the tissues more likely to swell.
The excess weight carried around your neck or throat (fatty tissue) and poor muscle tone can contribute to snoring, as your airways are compressed.
According to ENT UK, men are three times more likely to snore than women. Bupa suggests that snoring is found to be most common in sleepers over the age of 60, affecting 30% of men and 20% of women under the age of 60, increasing to 60% of men and 40% of women, over the age of 60.
Sleeping on your back can cause your throat to relax, which can result in blocked airways. So if you’re a back sleeper and looking for ways to prevent snoring, then you might need to switch up your sleeping position.
A stuffy nose, sinus infection, allergies, nasal polyps and a deviated septum can all cause snoring. Blocked airways caused by nasal congestion can make inhalation difficult and create a vacuum in the throat.

Light to frequent snoring:
Snoring is common with almost half of all adults snoring at least occasionally. If you or your partner snores, although it can be disruptive it’s not typically seen as a health concern if mild.
Sleep apnoea related snoring:
Snoring that is loud and erratic can be a sign of an underlying health condition called sleep apnoea or obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). Sleep apnoea causes your airways to become temporarily blocked when sleeping, which results in repeated lapses in breath that can often sound as though the sleeper is choking, snorting or gasping, due to the disrupted balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Other signs of sleep apnoea include fatigue during the day and falling asleep at inappropriate times, such as during conversations and meals. Please consult your doctor, if you or your partner have concerns and are experiencing these signs.
If you’ve been trying to stop your snoring with no luck, don’t give up hope! Explore a combination of lifestyle changes and sleep solutions, following our recommendations below.
Limit alcohol consumption
Sleep on an Anti-Snore Pillow
Try out our Anti-Snore Pillow, proven by the British Sleep Apnoea Association to reduce snoring frequency and volume by approximately 60%. The pillow features a s-shaped foam core to support the head and neck, opening the airways for improved breathing.
Use an Anti-Snore Mouth Guard
You can also try our Anti-Snore Mouth Guard, which helps hold your tongue or jaw in a stable position so that it can’t block your airway while you sleep. It’s lightweight and can be customised for the perfect fit. The durable outer layer also protects against teeth grinding and general wear and tear.
Switch up your sleeping position
Lying on your side has been proven to reduce snoring, particularly if your snoring is not severe. If you’re a natural back sleeper you may need some assistance with learning to sleep on your side without tossing and turning, try our Anti-Snore Pillow, Ultimate Side Sleeper Pillow or Body Pillow, which promote side sleeping.
Elevate your upper body
Elevating your upper body may ease breathing and encourage your tongue and jaw to move forward, you can try using our Acid Reflux Wedge Pillow for elevation.
Reduce nasal congestion
Eliminating allergies or other sources of nasal congestion can combat snoring. If you have a stuffy nose, rinse your sinuses before bed. If you have allergies, you can try anti-allergy bedding to eradicate dust mites and allergens from your sleeping environment. Our Anti-Snore Pillow is also hypoallergenic. Dry air can also irritate your nose and throat and so having a humidifier in the bedroom may help.
If you’re the one being kept awake at night, whilst your partner sleeps undisturbed next to you, it’s easy to become irritated and resentful. And, if you’re the one snoring you may often feel guilty, embarrassed or become annoyed with frequent discussions about your snoring.
Make it a priority to find a snoring solution, so you can both sleep peacefully and undisturbed. You can both monitor a snoring pattern with help from a sleep diary or app to pinpoint the reasons why you or your partner snores and the culprit(s) making it worse. If you’re sleeping alone, you can record yourself at night.
If your snoring is having a detrimental impact on your life and relationships you should consult your GP.
