That drink before bed š· might be making your snoring worse. Itās not really the drink itself, itās what it does to your airway.
Alcohol relaxes the muscles in your throat, which can cause your airway to narrow while you sleep. When that happens, airflow becomes more restrictedā¦ and thatās what leads to louder, more frequent snoring.
It can also make your breathing less stable throughout the night, which is why sleep after drinking often feels less restorative.
Nothing wrong with enjoying a drink ā itās just helpful to understand whatās happening behind the scenes.
