Health Tip: If Snoring Keeps You up at Night

By Diana Kohnle, HealthDay Reporter


(HealthDay News) -- Snoring can be disruptive for you and your partner, and it may be a warning sign of sleep apnea.


The National Sleep Foundation offers these suggestions that may help prevent the problem:



  • Lose any excess weight.

  • Before bed, avoid medications such as antihistamines, sleeping pills and tranquilizers.

  • Have your last meal or snack at least three hours before bed, and your last alcoholic beverage at least four hours before.

  • Adhere to a regular sleep schedule.

  • Roll onto your side, instead of sleeping on your back.
