I snore too and sometimes hear myself right before I dose off. I use breathe right strips and a nasal fluid made especially for people who snore, and it does the job!
Answer by Mark H
I had the SAME problem..but the problem was me not my GF. we tried everything, pills, snore guards, breath strips, nothing worked...she finally MADE me go to have a sleep study done and found out that I have a condition called "Sleep Apnea" and it was causing me to wake up 112 times per hour on average which I didn't really even notice believe it or not. Also my blood oxygen levels were dropping below 75%...any lower than that and theres a change you WON'T wake up to breath normally again. So they gave me a machine to sleep with it and my GF was terrified of it, but now she LOVES it as we can finally get the rest we both need.
Please, please please read this..don't take this lightly, its very common and i could be dead right now if i didn't get help. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_apnea
It does so much long term damage to you body that it would be crazy not to meet with a doctor if nothing else just to rule it out. dont take this as someone looking to get 10 stupid yahoo points, I really think you need to take her to a sleep doctor as she sounds like the way I was.

Answer by the_only_solorose
snoring happens because the soft palate relaxes and falls across the airway creating a partial obstruction. There are several medical treatments for this, and you need to discuss a sleep study with your doctor to find out which treatment will work best for you.
Answer by Diane
Yes, you most definitely could have sleep apnea. Talk to your doc about getting a sleep study which will determine whether or not you have sleep apnea.

Quit inviting them over if it bothers you that much. If you have to have them over try playing some music or a head set or something.
Answer by Sam
There are lots of ways to try and stop snoring, but it is worth trying to find out what is causing it.
It’s usually pretty simple really, snoring occurs when there is some kind of blockage in the breathing passage when you fall asleep. The airflow in your bronchial passage becomes irregular due to the constriction that occurs when your throat relaxes. Disrupted airflow then causes the soft palette in the breathing passages to flap causing the snoring sound. It’s like a door banging open and shut in the wind.
So keeping the airways open is the key. Here are some suggestions to achieve that:
• Elevate your head by sleeping on a thicker pillow or multiple pillows will help reduce your snoring, a pillow that's too soft encourages your throat muscles to relax and narrows your air passageway.
• Don't drink alcoholic beverages, take sleeping pills, tranquilizers, or antihistamines right before going to sleep, they will cause your muscles to relax and limit your air passage way.
• Avoid dairy products, which can cause mucus build-up right before you go to sleep.
• If you are overweight, losing some weight will reduce snoring by increasing the space in your air passage way.
• Sleeping on your side instead of your back
• Try following a regular sleep routine.
• Don't eat a big meal right before bed, if your stomach is full it will push up on your diaphragm and limit breathing passage ways.
• If you are a smoker, stop smoking, if that is not feasible then avoid smoking right before you go to bed. Smoking causes inflammation and swelling of the throat.
• Try exercising the muscles in your jaw, mouth and throat - strengthening these will reduce the airway collapsing when you are relaxed
• It is important that you Consult a medical professional if your snoring continues to adversely affect your sleep as you may have sleep apnoea.
There are many other Stop Snoring Aids available such as nasal strips, sprays, mouth guards or even surgery, but I would sugest exhausting the list above, and doing the excercises before you go down that path.
Good Luck

Answer by Jay S
People snore for a lot of reasons: undiagnosed allergies, sleeping on their backs, enlarged tonsils and other airway obstructions, being overweight. There are some remedies which are pretty effective, depending upon why you snore. You should try the tennis ball trick. Place a tennis ball in a sock and pin it to the back of the shirt you sleep in. Then, if you roll over on to your back at night, the ball will nudge you on to your side,where you are less likely to snore. Also, try using a warm-mist humidifier at night. It will ease congestion, which will help you breathe easier and snore less. Whatever you do to stop snoring, it's worth it. Snoring has been linked to a 67% increased risk of stroke.

try the breathe away strips. You may also want to look into it with a doctor. My hubby was bad at that and we found out that he had one side of his nostrils closed. He can smell now and snoring has stopped with the strips..lol
Answer by cryptoxmit
It makes sense to try some simple non-invasive treatments first to see if they will reduce or prevent your snoring.
Sleep on your side
Elevate the head of your bed
Limit alcohol and medications
Clear your nasal passages
Lose weight
If you snore:
With your mouth closed: a problem with the tongue is probably the culprit
With your mouth open: your snoring is likely related to the tissues in your throat
Only on your back: your snoring is probably mild – improved sleep habits and lifestyle changes may be effective cures ... Do you sleep on your back? Try the “tennis ball trick”: sleep with a tennis ball (or any ball of approximately the same size) attached to the back of your pajama top. (You can sew a pocket or safety-pin a sock to the back of the pajama top, then put a tennis ball in it.) The tennis ball is uncomfortable if you lie on your back, and you will respond by turning on your side. Soon you will develop side-sleeping as a habit and not need the tennis ball.
In all sleep positions: your snoring is more severe and may require a more comprehensive treatment

Answer by raresteak88
Aigh't you can get those little wing shaped things, but one on your brothers noise, and it should open his nose more, letting more air in, so he does not snore. Anotheri idea is to have him clean his nose out all of the way, making you get atleast a couple of hours to sleep.
PS. You could plug his nose (not recremended) :)
Answer by s g
Your pets' snoring may be bothering you, but the chances are it probably isn't bothering them at all. Snoring usually means that a slight obstruction is vibrating while your pet breathes in his sleep. This could be something as minor as a loose area of tissue in the throat. It may be noisy, but it is unlikely to be a serious problem.
However, if your pet's snoring is consistently loud and lasts through the night, it may be interrupting his sleep pattern. If he seems unusually tired or grouchy during the day his snoring may be becoming a problem, and this may well be the result of allergies. In pets, as in people, being overweight can also cause snoring. Some breeds are also predisposed to snoring problems, such as the Pekingese.
You may like to try giving your dog a different bed in which he can try and sleep in a different position, perhaps exchange a long bed for a round one or vice versa. If you suspect that your dog suffers from allergies, try and figure out what the problem is and try to limit his exposure to it. Finally, if your pet is overweight, it is worth seeing if losing a few pounds will help reduce the problem - with the added bonus of an altogether happier, healthier dog!
However, as with all conditions, prolonged and severe symptoms may suggest an underlying health problem, and it is always worth visiting a vet for a checkup

My wife had this exact same problem until she tried something her best friend recommended. She said that her husband was snoring like a bull at nights, but after she tried this small addition which is attached to your head the snoring stopped. The same happened to my wife. She's been using it for 2 weeks now and I haven't heard her snore since.

Maybe get her a Dr. appointment, there might be something wrong with her causing her to snore. Also buy some of the nose strips there suppose to help people not to snore....but them for her and ask her to try them.
Answer by No
Any of the cheap plastic ones work fine. The best ones are those that are custom fit, simply because they stay put all night, but in my opinion, are not worth the cost. You will get used to the cheap ones after a few nights and it will work just fine. Additionally, if you sleep on your back, it can help to try to re-train yourself to a side sleeper, where your anatomy makes snoring much more difficult. If your snoring is severe, you may wish to see a doctor, as it could be sleep apnea where you are actually unable to breathe for short periods of time throughout the night.
Answer by Mutya P
Be sure to eat only light dinner meal like eating only fruits and vegetables. Do not tire yourself. Also, be sure to lie only on you left or right side with bended knees. Because if you will lie flat with your back, there's a tendency that you will snore and can even be the cause of sudden death. Remember to eat only light food at night, ok.
Have a nice day and GOD BLESS :)

Answer by nmccau97
Breathe right strips
Answer by Brigida
Whenever you snore, the tissues and the muscles at the rear of the throat loosen up and begin to vibrate. Once the vibrations occur, the breathing passages within the throat and mouth are often restricted. Anti snoring exercises typically work to build up strength of the throat tissues and muscles so your airways stay open without restricting the air passage.
The 1st exercise to prevent snoring is an exercise with your mouth. First shut your mouth through bringing your molars together. Then open up your mouth through distancing the molars as far as possible. Do it again several times. Repeating this exercise for a couple of minutes every night works out a number of tissues and muscles in your throat and mouth, which could help keep the air passage open and reduce the snoring.
The 2nd workout is a tongue exercise. First extend the tongue as much as you can, but don't overdo it. After that you have to start touching various sides of the mouth with your tongue. Move your tongue downwards, then upwards, and then shift your mouth rightwards, then leftwards. Practicing this process a couple of times before going to bed ought to strengthen your tongue and lower the vibrations made by the tongue.
If none of above works - try using anti snoring pillows.
Answer by Jules
Losing weight can help but if you arent overweight - dont.
A tennis ball sewn into your sleep shirt can help as it prevents you rolling onto your back which exacerbates snoring.
Also those nose patches like bandaids - they can open up your sinuses to help you breath more clearly.
Thats my best hope it helps :)
