Simple Stop Snoring Exercises.

If you snore there are of course many things you can do to help alleviate this problem, from drops and sprays to a simple humidifier in the bedroom.  Some kind of breathing problem might also be the reason behind why a person snores but doing stop snoring exercises can easily treat it.  Let's take a look at what we mean by that.

Unlike other exercises, these stop snoring exercises are designed to help you with your breathing and to improve your lung function.  When your lungs are stronger you're less likely to be choking, gasping, or wheezing during your sleep and are more likely to be able to breathe freely through your nose.  When you have less lung capacity you're more likely to be breathing through your mouth in order to get enough air and can be making all those other sounds as well.  Simple stop snoring exercises involve stretching and breathing and can be very effective when done right before bed.

To get started with your snoring exercises, stand with your feet shoulder width apart and take a few very deep breaths, exhaling very slowly. Shrug your shoulders slightly and roll your head slowly from side to side.  Then, you should reach both hands over your head while inhaling; then, exhale while lowering your arms to your sides.   Do this a few times as you feel your lungs stretch and expand.  You might have a problem the first few nights you try your stop snoring exercises, but if you continue with them you'll notice that your lungs can handle deeper breaths more and more each time.  Simple stretching and breathing exercise may also be added but straining and excessive activity should be avoided before going to bed.  Your stop snoring exercises are simply meant to stretch your muscles and to get your lungs to breathe deeply and easily.  Adding simply stretching to your back can help you to relax as you sleep and to keep your upper body from getting tense.  If your neck isn't tense you're less likely to have your jaw fall open and to start breathing through your mouth.  If you need more structured stop snoring exercises, try a simple tai chi or yoga routine as these usually emphasize easy stretching and deep breathing and typically can be done by anyone regardless of physical fitness level.
