Snoring Treatment – A Simple Lifestyle Change

Before you discuss with your patient a possible anti-snoring therapy, you should clarify the causes of snoring. In this context, you should also talk about changes in lifestyle that could significantly reduce the symptoms:

• sleeping on one side, instead of on your back
• reduction of alcohol consumption in the evening, even as far as doing without
• reduction of excessive tobacco consumption
• do without sleeping medication and sedatives
• take measures to avoid becoming overtired
• weight reduction

Even if your patient finds it difficult, he or she should try to realize all possible changes in lifestyle to avoid – in the best case – the necessity of CPAP-Therapy .
