According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, an estimated 45 per cent of adults snore occasionally, while 25 per cent snore regularly. For some people, snoring is sporadic. It could be brought on by allergies or drinking alcohol before bed. For chronic snorers, nightly log-sawing could be linked to weight gain, nasal obstruction or sleep apnea.
If you're desperate for uninterrupted shut-eye, there are some snoring home remedies and devices that, according to reviewers, actually make a difference. From nasal strips and mouthguards to best-selling earplugs (when all else fails), here are six anti-snoring devices Amazon reviewers swear by.
1. Breathe Right Extra Strength Nasal Strips
