Health Tip: Solutions for Snoring

(HealthDay News) -- Snoring occurs when the upper airways become narrow, says Harvard Medical School. As a result, airflow is disrupted, making tissues vibrate and produce the snoring noise.

To help alleviate snoring, Harvard Medical school suggests:

• Reduce alcohol consumption.
• Lose excess weight.
• Rinse stuffy sinuses with saline before bed.
• Use allergy medication or a humidifier.
• Sleep on your side.
• Quit smoking.
