Warm summer nights can trigger a perfect storm of factors that affect your breathing and sleep quality. Thankfully, there are several effective snoring solutions that can help restore peace and quiet, even when the temperature is rising.
Let’s take a closer look at why heat can impact snoring and what you can do to stay cool, calm and quiet.
Why does warm weather affect snoring?
When it’s hot and humid, your body struggles to regulate temperature. You might sleep with the windows open, use a fan or toss off the covers. High temperatures also have a direct effect on your airways.
Warmer weather can lead to dehydration, nasal congestion and inflammation of the airways, all of which are common triggers for snoring. If you suffer from hay fever, pollen levels (especially in the evening) can make things worse. This often leads people to breathe through their mouths, which increases the chances of snoring.
Luckily, there are snoring solutions designed to tackle these exact issues and Snoreeze has a range that targets them head-on.
Everyday snoring solutions for summer nights
If your snoring is caused by the vibration of soft tissue at the back of the throat – something that can be made worse during warm, dry nights – the Snoreeze Throat Spray, Lozenges and Oral Strips could be just what you need. They use a dual-action formula to coat and lubricate the throat, reducing tissue vibration for up to 8 hours.
Unlike earplugs, which mask the noise but don’t address the cause, these snoring solutions go straight to the source. They’re simple to use, fast-acting and perfect for your bedside table or holiday suitcase.
Struggling with a blocked nose?
Hot, dry air – especially when paired with pollen – can wreak havoc on your sinuses. If you’re bunged up and sleeping with your mouth open, it’s time to try our Snoring With Congestion range.
Choose between the Nasal Spray, Nasal Strips or the Nasal Dilator, all of which are designed to open your nasal passages and improve airflow. Snoreeze products are made using natural ingredients which means they’re safe to use every night. These products are ideal snoring solutions when you’re battling congestion from heat, hay fever or allergies.
Loud snoring and sleep apnoea
If your snoring is chronic and loud, or you’ve been told you stop breathing during the night, you could be dealing with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). OSA is a condition where your airway repeatedly collapses during sleep, causing pauses in breathing. Left untreated, it can lead to serious health issues like high blood pressure, heart disease and daytime fatigue – so recognising and managing it is really important.
Hot weather can make symptoms feel worse by disrupting your sleep cycle and causing more night-time awakenings.
The Snoreeze Oral Device is a clinically proven solution for loud snoring and mild to moderate OSA. It works by holding your jaw in the right position to keep your airway open and it can reduce snoring volume by nearly 80%. For many, it’s one of the most effective snoring solutions available.
