[H1] How to treat insomnia

[H2] Insomnia treatments

Insomnia is treated in different ways depending on the type, the cause and the severity.
Everyone is different so it can take time and a little bit of patience to find what works for you. Some people find setting good sleep habits enable them to get the quality sleep they need so they feel energised and ready to face the day. Others use relaxation or home remedies to manage insomnia symptoms. But if you’re at your wits end you may need some extra help from a sleep therapist.

[IMG: insomnia-treatments (1)]

[H2] Improving your sleep hygiene

As a first step towards resolving your insomnia, sleep experts recommend adopting habits that can help you get a good night’s sleep. They call this ‘sleep hygiene’1. Over the years, you may have adopted bad habits that are now making it more difficult for you to sleep well. Good habits to make include:

[IMG: body-clock]

[H5] Listen to your body’s natural clock

This begins with getting up at the same time every day. Do this regularly and you should find that you’re feeling sleepy at the same time every night. Go out in the sun in the early morning. The morning light will also help to set your body clock.

[IMG: If-you-feel-tired-go-to-bed]

[H5] If you feel tired, go to bed

Listen to your body when it tells you it’s time to sleep. Sleepiness is your cue to get ready for your night’s sleep. But don’t try and sleep if you’re not feeling tired. You’ll sleep better if you wait until you feel sleepy before heading for bed.

[IMG: Set-up-room-for-success]

[H5] Set up your bedroom for sleeping success

Invest in a good mattress that feels comfortable. Sleep at the right temperature. Your room and bedding should be not too hot or too cold. A dark, quiet environment makes it easier to get a good night’s sleep.

[IMG: Block-out-noise-and-light]

[H5] Block out noise and light

Try wearing earplugs if noise is bothering you or get a white noise machine. Make sure the room is dark, using block-out window furnishings if necessary.

[IMG: two-things-only]

[H5] Use your bedroom for two things only

Your bedroom is a sanctuary. Use it only for sleeping and sex. So that your mind associates your bedroom with sleep, don’t watch TV, use your phone, do work or play with electronic equipment.

[IMG: dont-smoke-or-drink]

[H5] Don’t smoke or drink alcohol before bed

While these substances may make you feel relaxed, tobacco is actually a stimulant and alcohol can disrupt your natural sleep cycles. It can also result in frequent waking for bathroom visits.

[IMG: practice-relaxing-your-mind]

[H5] Practice relaxing your mind

Relaxation exercises before bed can help you wind down so you’re ready to fall asleep. Mindfulness meditation is a technique that has a number of health benefits including relieving stress,  boosting immunity and improving concentration.2

[IMG: dont-just-lie-there]

[H5] If you can’t get to sleep, don’t just lie there

Get up, leave the room and find a relaxing activity such as reading or listening to music. Don’t use any screens for entertainment as the blue light they give off can interfere with your body’s clock.3When you feel sleepy, go back to bed and try again to sleep.

[H2] Home remedies

Various foods and natural sleep remedies4 have been known to help treat insomnia. They include:

Magnesium which is a mineral that is believed to help with stress relief and muscle relaxation

Lavender oil is a natural oil that may help improve your mood and make you feel relaxed and sleepy. You can add it to a diffuser or spray a small amount onto your pillow

Valerian, the root of a herb, can be taken as a supplement, although its effectiveness has not been definitely proven5

Passion flower tea is another home remedy for insomnia, also without solid clinical evidence to back it up5

Glycine, an amino acid your body needs, is thought to play a role in improving sleep. This one does have some evidence behind it. Foods that are rich in glycine include bone broth, meat, eggs, fish and a number of vegetables including cabbage, beans and kale. Kiwi fruit and bananas are also sources of glycine. You can also take glycine as a supplement5

[H2] Professional and pharmaceutical remedies

[H3] Professional insomnia diagnosis

Insomnia is one of the most common complaints people talk to their doctors about.
To diagnose insomnia, your doctor will ask you a number of questions to determine the severity and type of insomnia you’re experiencing.10 The doctor may ask you about things like snoring, any recent weight gain, your current stress level and mood. These can all play a role in reducing your ability to sleep soundly.
Several medical tests may be needed so your doctor can pinpoint the cause of your insomnia.
Tracking your sleep using a sleep diary may help establish your sleep patterns
A home sleep test can help to eliminate the possibility that you have sleep apnea, a serious sleep disorder that requires treatment
A questionnaire measuring your daytime sleepiness can help assess the impact insomnia is having on your day
A mental health questionnaire can help your doctor to understand whether previously undiagnosed psychological problems are contributing to your insomnia

[IMG: Professional-diagnosis (1)]

[H3] Cognitive behavioural therapy

Cognitive behavioural therapy6 (or CBT-i) is an insomnia treatment which has proven to be effective in the long term, especially if there’s no identifiable medical cause for your insomnia.7
The role of CBT-i is to change the way you think about your sleep problem.8 If you can replace negative thoughts about your sleep with more positive ones, it can ‘reframe the brain’ with the result that you find it easier to fall asleep and go back to sleep if you wake in the night. CBT-i insomnia treatment is offered by psychologists and you may need 4 to 6 sessions to make a good impact. There’s also homework to do between sessions which is essential to the process.9

[IMG: Cognitive-behavioural-therapy (1)]

[H3] Prescription medications

Your doctor may recommend prescription medication for your insomnia. It’s very important to use this only as directed. Prolonged use of some sleeping medication may lead to them becoming less effective with time as your body gets used to them. If this happens, they will become less effective with time. Prescription medications may have side effects and some can interact with alcohol or other medications.

[IMG: Prescription-medications (1)]

[H3] Pharmacy medications

In addition to natural remedies and supplements, your pharmacist may recommend medication for the short-term treatment of insomnia symptoms. You will need to discuss with your pharmacist any other medications you are taking as they could interact with an over-the-counter insomnia treatment.

[H1] How to stop snoring – causes, remedies and when to see a doctor

Snoring affects millions of people — disrupting not only the person who struggles with it, but also the person trying to sleep next to them16. This guide explores common causes of snoring, simple home remedies, and lifestyle changes that may help reduce it — plus when to seek medical advice so you and your partner can finally get a restful night’s sleep.

[H2]
What causes snoring?

We’ve all heard snoring before — but why do some people snore and others don’t? It happens when air pushes through a partially blocked airway, causing throat tissues to vibrate. While often harmless, snoring can sometimes signal an underlying condition like obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Understanding the cause is the first step toward real solutions. So what causes this blockage? There are several culprits that play a role.

[H5] Age

Snoring can happen at any age, but as we get older, the muscle tone in the throat decreases, shrinking our airways and making it more likely for it to narrow during sleep — which is a common cause of snoring.1,2

[H5] Alcohol

Alcohol typically relaxes the muscles in the throat and reduces your body’s natural defences against airway obstruction. As the airways collapse or become partial blocked, the likelihood of snoring increases. If you are someone who enjoys a drink before bed, it could contribute to your snoring problem.3

[H5] Anatomy

The physical composition of your throat and airway can also play a role. Features such as a thick soft palate (the soft tissue at the back of your mouth), enlarged tonsils, or a deviated septum (when the wall between your nostrils is off-centre) can narrow the airway, which may affect how easily air passes through and contribute to snoring.1

[H5] Weight

Weight can also play a role in snoring. Excess fat tissue around the neck and throat may place pressure on the airway, which can narrow the air passages and make it harder for air to flow freely. This may increase the chance of the surrounding tissues vibrating and producing the snoring sound. In some cases, losing weight may help reduce snoring by relieving this pressure and supporting better airflow during sleep.⁴

[H5] Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder where breathing briefly stops during sleep. The most common type, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), happens when the airway becomes partially or fully blocked. There is also central sleep apnea, which occurs when the brain doesn’t send proper signals to breathe.
Loud, intermittent snoring—sometimes with choking or gasping—may be a sign of OSA, though not everyone with OSA snores. If you notice these symptoms, it’s important to speak with a healthcare professional. They can help identify any underlying conditions and suggest the right treatment to improve your sleep and reduce snoring.⁵

Want to know more about causes of snoring?

[H2] Home remedies for snoring

Simple changes in your sleep habits and environment can reduce snoring significantly. If you snore loudly, we recommend trying these home remedies to reduce the severity of your snoring. These involve adjusting your sleep position, keeping allergens at bay, and using supportive pillows.

[H5] Sleep on your side

Snoring is usually caused by a narrowed airway. By moving your lower jaw forward slightly, SnoreRx may help to keep your airway open.

[H5] Sleep in a reclined position

If you only snore when you lie on your back, try this device. It vibrates to alert you until you change position. It also monitors your sleep and snoring.

[H5] Keep your sleeping area clean

An anti-snoring chin strap works by holding your jaws together which reduces relaxation of your jaw muscle and airway.

[H2] Lifestyle changes for snoring17

Just making simple lifestyle changes can dramatically reduce snoring and improve sleep quality, all of which can effectively treat snoring and improve overall sleep quality. Here are just a few:
Stop Smoking
Smoking irritates the airways and causes inflammation, increasing the chances of snoring.18 Smoking is also known to exacerbate obstructive sleep apnea symptoms, as it can cause swelling in the throat and nasal passages, further restricting airflow.
Lose Weight
Weight loss can also significantly reduce the severity of sleep apnea, a common sleep disorder often linked with snoring.9 When you lose weight, you reduce the fatty deposits and excess tissue around your neck and throat, which can help keep the airway open during sleep. Incorporating a balanced diet and regular exercise into your lifestyle not only aids in weight loss but also promotes better sleep quality and overall health. Consulting with a healthcare provider or nutritionist can help you get personalized guidance to achieve and maintain a healthy weight.
Regularly Exercise
Exercise strengthens muscles, including those in your throat, and helps with weight loss—both of which can reduce snoring. Engaging in regular physical activity also improves cardiovascular health and increases lung capacity, which can enhance breathing efficiency during sleep. Certain activities like yoga or strength training, as well as aerobic exercise, such as walking or swimming, can specifically tone the muscles in the airway, reducing the risk of airway collapse and snoring. Even better, exercise can help regulate sleep patterns and reduce stress levels, contributing to a more restful sleep in general.

[H2] Products that may help with snoring

Different therapies may help with snoring depending on the cause. Some focus on improving sleep position or airflow, while others are used to manage conditions like obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Here are some of the most common options:

[H2] Mandibular Device

A Mandibular Device (MAD) is a mouthpiece that gently repositions the jaw to prevent airway obstruction, so if your snoring is due to jaw or tongue position — this is the device for you.11 These mouthpieces are often custom-fitted by a dentist or orthodontist to ensure maximum comfort and effectiveness. By advancing the lower jaw slightly forward, MADs help to keep the airway open, which can significantly reduce snoring and improve overall sleep quality.

[IMG: standard-mandibular]

[H2] Sleep Reposition Device

Sleep repositioning devices come in various forms, such as wearable bands, vibrating alarms, and special pillows, all designed to encourage side sleeping. For people who usually sleep on their back, these devices may help reduce snoring by training the body to stay on its side. This position can prevent the tongue and soft palate from collapsing to the back of the throat and blocking airflow. The goal is to help you gradually develop a habit of side sleeping, which may lower both how often and how loudly you snore.
While these devices can be effective for many, they may not work for all types of snoring. It’s a good idea to discuss options with a healthcare professional if snoring persists.¹²

[IMG: NightShift-SleepRepositioner2-1]

[H2] Chin Strap

Chin straps are designed to support the jaw and encourage breathing through the nose, which can help reduce the vibrations that cause snoring.13 While they may not necessarily work for everyone, especially if nasal congestion or other structural issues are present, they are particularly useful for people who snore due to mouth breathing or have mild sleep apnea. Consulting a healthcare provider can help determine if a chin strap is a suitable option for your snoring concerns.

[IMG: Chin-strap-product-card]

[H2] Nasal Strips or Dilators19

Nasal passages play a crucial role in breathing and can significantly contribute to snoring. When nasal passages are congested or narrow, it can force you to breathe through your mouth, which often leads to snoring. Conditions like a stuffy nose, allergies, or a deviated septum can exacerbate this issue. To reduce snoring, it’s essential to keep your nasal passages open. Nasal strips or dilators can help improve airflow by widening the nasal passages, making it easier to breathe through your nose.

[IMG: alt=]

[H2] Possible medical treatments for snoring

When snoring becomes a constant or really disruptive issue, and you've tried everything else without success, it might be time to consider medical treatments. Visiting a doctor can provide specialized analysis and treatment options for severe snoring issues, but here are some of your options:

[H2] Surgery

Surgery is typically considered as a last resort treatment when others have failed or are unsuitable. These procedures can remove or reposition tissues that may be blocking the airway, helping to improve airflow and reduce snoring.¹⁵
Here are a few common surgical options:
Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) - removes excess tissue from the throat to widen the airway.
Uvulopalatoplasty (LAUP) - uses lasers to remove or reshape the uvula and soft palate.
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) - shrinks the tissues in the throat.
Recovery and results vary, so it’s important to consult a doctor to find the best option. Surgery is a serious step and should be considered carefully.

[H2] When to talk to a doctor

If snoring is affecting your sleep quality, your daily life, or your partner’s rest, it may be time to speak with a healthcare professional. While home remedies and lifestyle changes can help, persistent or loud snoring may be a sign of an underlying condition like obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). A doctor can help identify the cause and recommend the right treatment.
