Best Sleeping Position to Stop Snoring (and How to Check It Works)

For many people, how they sleep changes how much they snore.

Positions

• On your side: usually the best position against snoring – the tongue and soft palate fall back less.
• On your back: snoring is often loudest.
• Head slightly raised: an extra pillow or a raised head end can help some people.

Habits that help

• No alcohol in the hours before bed
• Treat a blocked nose (allergies, colds)
• Regular sleep times

Measure it with SleepSay

Record a few nights in your usual position, then a few nights on your side. Add a note to each night and compare the snoring minutes in the SleepSay trends.
