SNORING?

Snoring is quite a complex problem to beat because there are so many factors that contribute to snoring. We suggest you try a combination of the strategies below to see what works best to help you reduce and hopefully stop snoring, but please remember everyone is different! Change your sleep position – Sleeping on your back can cause you to snore more heavily, since the tongue collapses to the back of the throat during sleep and restricts the airway. Sleeping on your side can help reduce snoring. Avoid sedatives before bed – Taking alcohol, muscle relaxants, sleeping pills, and other substances with a sedating effect can cause the throat muscles to slacken during sleep, partially blocking the airway. Treat allergies – Chronic allergies can cause nasal congestion and irritation of the lining of the throat and nose. Add moisture to the air – Placing a humidifier in the bedroom can help lubricate the airway during sleep, which can help lessen snoring.

Use stop snoring products – Using over-the-counter nasal dilators like Mute can help open the nose and increase airflow for better breathing during sleep.

We snore for many different reasons and in order to help reduce or stop snoring, we need to understand why we snore. One major culprit is nasal obstruction. If your nose is blocked due to congestion, a deviated septum or simply narrow airways, you are more likely to open your mouth during sleep. When you breathe through your mouth during sleep, the air becomes turbulent causing disruptive snoring sounds as the air rattles the tissues in the throat.

Mute is designed to open the nose and improve nasal airflow to avoid mouth breathing during sleep and thereby reduce the incidence of snoring.

It’s also quite common for people to snore due to the tongue, soft palate, and throat muscles naturally relaxing during sleep, partially obstructing the airways. This can happen as we get older or if alcohol or sedatives have been consumed

If you find that Mute is not enough to reduce or stop your snoring, you may need to use Mute in conjunction with an oral device that helps to keep the throat open as well. Your doctor or sleep dentist is the best person to advise you on this.

There are lots of lifestyle changes, snoring tips and snoring aids that may help reduce or help stop snoring but there isn’t one simple solution that will work for everyone.
Snoring is caused by many different factors and often needs to be tackled using a number of different approaches.
We always suggest starting with Mute to open the nasal airway and help you breathe better, because better breathing is at the heart of better sleep.
If you find you are still snoring you may like to combine Mute with a nasal wash, try to avoid too much alcohol and food before bed, and/or ensure your pillow is supportive and stops you rolling on your back. If snoring persists, we recommend you seek advice from your doctor.
There may not be a cure for snoring but there are ways you can try to control it if you understand why you are snoring. If your nose is blocked or you have narrow nasal airways then Mute may be a good first step to take.

Snoring is very common. It can happen to anyone regardless of age, gender, and weight. However, if you or someone you live with has noticed that your snoring has become louder and more frequent, it could be due to one or more of the following reasons:

1) Nasal congestion caused by the flu or common cold
2) Nasal or throat irritation caused by an untreated allergy
3) Restricted airway due to slack muscles or weight gain, particularly around the neck
4) Sleeping on your back which causes the tongue to roll back and restrict your airway
5) Deviated septum that is causing nasal obstruction
6) Mouth breathing due to nasal obstruction

If you feel your snoring is caused by problems related to nasal obstruction, a stuffy nose, deviated septum or simply narrow airways then Mute may be right for you.

With so many anti-snoring products in the market, it is hard to choose the best one.
Our advice is don’t rely on product reviews alone because there is no one product that will suit everyone and we see both good reviews and bad reviews for every product.
The key is to correctly match the solution to the problem.
Here are several factors to help you determine which anti-snoring device is best:

Cause of snoring: Think about why you may be snoring and what the cause may be. If you suffer from nasal obstruction due to congestion, a deviated septum or narrow airways, then Mute may be right for you. Consuming food and alcohol late at night, as well as many other factors, may have an impact on how well you sleep.

Safety –Make sure that the product complies with safety regulations and is high quality. Read the packaging for safety instructions, contraindications, and allergies. Mute, for example, contains no drugs and is made with medical grade silicone for user safety and easy cleaning. Always talk to your doctor if you have any questions or doubts about the product’s safety.

Comfort – Your anti-snoring device should be comfortable, help you sleep better, and not prevent you from getting a good night’s sleep due to discomfort. That means that the shape, design, and material of the device must be comfortable to wear. Mute has been engineered with user comfort and ease of use in mind. Mute also comes in a Trial pack with three different sizes to help you find the best fit.

Portability – The device should be lightweight and compact so that you can carry it with you when you travel.

Cost – A good night’s sleep shouldn’t put a dent in your wallet. It should also provide value for money. Choose an affordable but high quality sleeping device that you can replace regularly.

Doctor’s recommendation – If you have any questions or are in any doubt, then speak to your doctor or pharmacist.

There is no known permanent solution to frequent snoring. In extreme cases, surgery might be recommended. Surgical techniques depend on the underlying cause of snoring, and may include correcting a deviated septum, taking out the tonsils, and reshaping the soft palate. However, some experts believe that surgery only works for a certain period of time, after which snoring may resume.

Before surgery is considered your doctor may recommend lifestyle changes and to try some snoring solutions that may reduce snoring for you. Lifestyle changes may include exercise and limiting alcohol and food intake before bed.
You can also try drug free, non-invasive sleeping aids like Mute. Mute gently opens the nose to increase airflow and help you breathe better and sleep better.
If snoring is not relieved, you may like to try Mute together with an oral appliance to keep both the nose and throat clear during sleep.
Finally, if snoring persists, we recommend you see your doctor for advice.

There’s no one easy way to stop snoring and if you’re looking for a natural, non-drug based approach then you need to consider making some lifestyle changes.
Sleeping on your side rather than your back, exercising, losing weight, and avoiding alcohol and sedatives before bed can all play a part to help stop snoring or reduce snoring naturally. Your doctor can advise which lifestyle changes are right for you.

Mute is a non-drug option for opening up the airways to help you breathe better during sleep. If nasal obstructions like congestion, a deviated septum or narrow airways is contributing to snoring then Mute may be right for you.

Stop snoring aids like mouthpieces are designed to hold the position of the jaw and keep the tongue from collapsing to the back of the mouth and impeding the throat during sleep.
These snoring aids have been shown to be effective in reducing snoring in people who snore due to issues related to their throat being obstructed. You can ask your doctor if these snoring aids might be right for you.
However, if your snoring is due to obstruction to your nose due to congestion, a deviated septum or simply narrow airways, then Mute may be a less invasive and more comfortable solution for you.
