MONITOR YOUR SLEEPING HABITS<br />
Try and get someone you know to<br />
tell you how you sleep through the night.<br />
One way to check out your sleeping habits<br />
is to record a video of yourself. Make sure<br />
you include the audio, so your doctor can<br />
hear what sounds you make.<br />

USE A REGULAR PILLOW<br />
Sleep with just a single, average-sized<br />
pillow each night. Using multiple or oversized<br />
pillows makes it more likely that you<br />
will end up in a position that encourages<br />
sleep apnea. This may cause breathing<br />
difficulty based on your position. You can<br />
minimize the impact your sleep apnea has<br />
by using just a single pillow in bed.<br />
CONSIDER USING AN<br />
ANTI-SNORING DEVICE<br />
You should get a machine to stop snoring.<br />
Excessive snoring occurs whenever your<br />
airways are only partially opened where a<br />
minimum amount of air can pass through.<br />
On the other hand, sleep apnea occurs<br />
whenever your airways are closed up completely<br />
with no passing through. One device<br />
can help with both. If you have mild<br />
sleep apnea, an anti-snoring device may<br />
be enough to help with your condition.<br />
STRENGTHEN YOUR<br />
THROAT MUSCLES<br />
Getting your throat muscles stronger<br />
is a great way to have less of a problem<br />
with sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is a direct<br />
result of a collapse of tissue that<br />
occurs towards the far throat’s back.<br />
The stronger your muscles are, the less<br />
chance they will block your airways.<br />
If you or your partner have excessive problems<br />
getting restful sleep due to snoring or<br />
breathing issues, then you need to consult<br />
your doctor. People really shouldn’t have<br />
to suffer without getting a proper diagnosis.<br />
Feel free to share this helpful information<br />
with others who have sleep apnea.<br />
