Stop snoring with your tongue! It works in 3 nights, do it 30 seconds before bed
Many factors can trigger snoring, such as excess weight, nasal congestion, sleeping position or allergies. However, with a simple 30-second tongue exercise recommended by sleep expert Martin Seeley, it is possible to significantly reduce this problem in three nights.
Snoring occurs when airflow in the throat and nasal passages is restricted. Nasal congestion, sinus problems, allergies, or sleeping position can block this airflow and cause snoring. Sleep specialist Martin Seeley says that allergic reactions, which are especially prevalent during pollen season, cause swelling in the nasal passages.
“Even people who don’t normally snore can experience this problem during pollen season,” says Seeley. “Nasal congestion narrows the airways, increasing snoring, which can be uncomfortable for both the person and those around them.” Additionally, the tongue’s relationship with the throat muscles plays a critical role in snoring.
Weak tongue muscles can slide down into the throat during sleep, blocking the airway. This is where Seeley's 30-second tongue exercise comes into play. First, you need to close your mouth and touch your tongue to the roof of your mouth. Then, you need to move your tongue from side to side, that is, from right to left, 10 times.
In the continuation of the method, you should repeat this movement in 3 sets. This exercise, which lasts 30 seconds in total, provides effective results when done regularly. This exercise helps keep the airways open by working the throat and mouth muscles. It also strengthens the tongue muscles and prevents the tongue from sliding into the throat during sleep. Seeley emphasizes that such oropharyngeal exercises are a scientifically proven method for reducing snoring.
There is an additional method for those who want to diversify their tongue exercises. Place your fingers on your cheeks and move your tongue from side to side in your mouth, pushing it against your fingers. This movement supports the airways by working the cheek and tongue muscles at the same time.
The effect of these exercises is supported not only by user comments but also by scientific research. A study shows that people who regularly do these tongue exercises have seen a 59% decrease in snoring. Moreover, many people say they have noticed positive changes in just three nights.
