Nasal Strips and Snoring (Part One)

Whether your partner snores or you yourself suffer from loud snoring in the night, there are many approaches to address this. One of the more popular and simple to access solutions being nasal strips. In this first part, we will begin to cover nasal strips and their effects on snoring and sleep.  

Before addressing nasal strips, it is first important to consider what causes snoring. Put simply, snoring occurs when the airflow through the nose and throat is obstructed during sleep, leading to vibrations in the airway. This can disrupt sleep quality for both the individual as well as those around them. While solutions such as nasal strays and others exist, what makes nasal strips popular is they are considered non-invasive and simple to use.  

Nasal strips operate by being applied to the outside of the nose. As an adhesive strip, they function by holding open the nasal passages which helps increase airflow and makes breathing easier. By opening the nasal passages, they can decrease the intensity and frequency of snoring, ideally leading to a quieter and more restful sleep.
