HEALTH TIP OF THE WEEK
Snoring solution: Sleep on your side
Sleeping on your side may prevent snoring. Lying on your back allows your tongue to fall backward into your throat, which narrows your airway and partially obstructs air flow. To stay off your back, try sleeping in a tight-fitting T-shirt with a tennis ball sewn or attached to the back. This uncomfortable trick will remind you to roll over.
