PILLOW FOR SNORERS

Snorers (and Their Partners)
If you or your bedmate snores like a foghorn, take heart. An anti-snoring pillow can help.
They’re designed to support the back of the neck and subtly shift a back-sleeper’s head to “the sniff position.” That’s as if you sat upright and pulled your head slightly forward to smell something, Kotler says. This opens airways for easier breathing.
It’s a gentle adjustment that won’t create other problems, such as neck pain.
If that doesn’t help, other factors may be at play.
Some snoring is related to sleep apnea, a dangerous condition marked by gasping or periods of stopped breathing during sleep.
Sleep apnea raises the risk of high blood pressure and is linked to depression and gastroesophageal reflux disease. If you suspect you or your partner have it, consult a doctor.
