A team of Brazilian and Colombian researchers have come out with a finding that by using a technique of oropharyngeal mouth and tongue exercises, you could reduce snoring by 36% in frequency and 59% in intensity.

Snoring is caused by vibrations of the tissues in the throat that relax during sleep and proceed to obstruct the pharynx. It can be accentuated by certain factors like sleeping on your back, taking alcohol or tobacco or even surplus weight.

So if you snore, below are some of the exercises you can do with your mouth and tongue to stop it.

1. Pushing the tip of the tongue against the roof of the mouth and sliding the tongue backward.


2. Sucking the tongue upward against the roof of the mouth, and pressing the entire tongue against the roof of the mouth.

3. Forcing the back of the tongue against the floor of the mouth while keeping the tip of the tongue in contact with the bottom front teeth.


4. And elevating the back of the roof of the mouth and uvula while saying the vowel “A.”
