Are pillows your ultimate solution to unwanted snores?

Imagine yourself getting inside the cosy blankets to escape the chill winters, switching off all the lights, and almost about to fall into deep sleep, except then you hear your partner’s snores. And the result? You lay flat on the bed with an irritated expression unable to sleep till you hit the sofa instead? Ever happened with you? Well, next time it does, instead of moving out with the pillow, you can try and adjust the sleep patterns so that the snores can be reduced.

How can pillows help with balancing your nightly snores?

Experts have researched and found out that pillows help in the nasal alignment which opens the blockage in your nose , which is the root cause of snores. This means the pillow elevates the head so that the tongue and throat do not remain in the same linearity. This up and down alignment helps opening the nasal blockage and preventing snores. Moreover, you can opt for anti-snore of positional pillows which allow you to comfortably sleep on your sides, thereby reducing your snoring problems. Wedge pillows help in improving posture and decreasing snoring intensity.

You have to however keep in mind, that pillows may be a temporary solution. It will not be working if the person snoring is affected with sleep apnea or other severe problems.
