To avoid snoring, weight lost is recommended to those who have gained excess body fats. According to studies, a 20% excess to the normal weight can cause snoring. The next thing to avoid before sleeping is taking alcohol. It is because alcohol can relax the muscles of the body including the throat more than the customary. Sedatives can greatly contribute to snoring. Besides, becoming accustomed to sedatives is bad not only to snoring but for the health in general.
Smoking can also cause the mucous membranes to bulge that it narrows the passage of the air. This increases the velocity of the air inhaled that triggers the vibration of the muscles in the throat.
