What Sort of Snorer Are You?

Did you know that there are several different types of snoring? Here are some simple tests to see what sort of snorer you are:

Nose test - Looking in a mirror, press the side of one nostril to close it. With your mouth closed, breathe in through your other nostril. Does your nostril collapse while you are breathing? Now, with your mouth closed, try breathing in through your nose. If you cannot breathe well through your nose you may be suffering from nasal stuffiness caused by allergy.

Mouth Breathing Test - Open your mouth and make a snoring noise. Now close your mouth and try to make the same noise. If you can only snore with your mouth open then you are a 'mouth breather'.

Tongue Test - Stick your tongue out as far as it will go and grip it between your teeth. Now try to make a snoring noise. If the snoring noise is reduced with your tongue in this forward position then you are probably what is known as a 'tongue base snorer'.

Establishing what type of snorer you are will assist you in curing your snoring.
