Gallery: Snooze Without Snoring By Doing These 5 Exercises

From gentle snuffles to the loudest snorts and rasps, snoring is a common condition that happens in millions of bedrooms every night. According to Hopkins Medicine it’s estimated that 45 percent of adults snore once in awhile, while 25 percent snores on a regular basis. Occasional snoring is usually not serious and is more of an annoyance to your bed partner than anything, but habitual snoring can disrupt your sleeping patterns as well as your bedmates, and can worsen with age.

Often snoring happens when you have weak throat, jaw, cheek or tongue muscles. Those who snore every night can be at risk for rather serious health complications, including sleep apnea that can craft a slew of problems like sleep walking, disruptions in your breathing, and a deprived night of sleep just to name a few. Have no fear, there are exercises out there you can do, and when done correctly they will help lessen your nighty buzz saw. No dumbbells or gym clothes required.
