A new position statement has been released by the Australasian Sleep Association on the best way to help someone who snores stop snoring.
The best way, according to the position statement, to help is to recommend:
- Weight loss;
- Alcohol reduction;
- Avoiding some medications; and
- Using devices to help people stop sleeping on their backs or to hold their jaws in position.
The position statement reviews the evidence for a range of treatment options, summarising the information into a series of recommendations to help guide the treatment of snoring.
The position statement is available at: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/resp.14443.
