Mild snoring and a blocked nose can often be eased with simple changes. Some breathing problems at night need a professional opinion, though.
Try these habits first
- Try sleeping on your side.
- Keep your nose clear.
- Avoid alcohol close to bedtime.
Things that may help
These are the kinds of products people often use for this. They can make good habits easier, but they are not a cure.
Product names link to Amazon search results in the country you choose above, so you can compare options and read reviews yourself. We don’t currently earn anything from these links, and they aren’t recommendations of a specific product. If that changes, we will say so here.
Please speak to a doctor rather than relying on products if you snore loudly and also gasp, choke or seem to stop breathing in your sleep, or feel very sleepy during the day. These can be signs of a condition such as sleep apnoea.
