Learn about 12 things you can do to sleep better.

Avoiding Alcohol and Certain Medications

It’s good to avoid alcohol and medications that relax the airway and/or reduce respiratory strength. This can be a simple, yet effective option for those with occasional/very mild sleep apnea.

Losing Weight

Losing weight is often an effective treatment for snoring-related sleep apnea. Even losing a few pounds may reduce the amount of tissue in and around the neck and airway enough to reduce the number of apneas per night. Sleep apnea sufferers often are overweight because they often turn to food and caffeinated beverages to help them remain alert and awake throughout the day.

Positional Therapy

Utilizing positional therapy to adjust one’s sleeping position naturally can improve one’s airway passage. This is the easiest form of treatment that can be implemented immediately and may provide some relief.

Medication

Considering certain respiratory stimulant medications, such as some antidepressants and asthma medications, can potentially relieve sleep apnea symptoms.
