    What about adding some white noise in the background, like a fan or air purifier?

    Could be a health problem. I have a deviated septum and snore like a mother. My wife said I sometimes sound like I stop breathing for a second which is scary. I now use those breathe-rite strips. They work really well and I breathe much better. They are expensive though.

    i choose "do something for him" but more really i'd agree with the foam ear plugs.
    if those don't work for you, try some other mechanical stuff.

    it's just, _DON'T_ get medication involved. Most forms of sleeping pills, taken over long time, form either addictions and/or quickly lose potency.

    There are surgeries u can get to prevent snoring. They just cut a tiny chunk of your soft palette out. It's similar to having your tonsils taken out except not as bad. I don't think they even out you under and it's like a 250$ 20 min procedure.

    My gf does the same shit. I'm a pretty light sleeper though. She snores so loud anyway. I use ear plugs and have even tried smothering her a couple of times. Nothing seems to work. Maybe if I get her one of those things you stick on your nose to open it up.

    1.check his pillow first and if the size is not right please get him one. not too high not too low.

    2. next suggest him to sleep side ways.

    3. check if the pillow is placed rightly. which means the height of the pillow should start from the shoulder level and the neck and the head should be comfortably resting. fondle with his hair for a while and massage his forehead for few minutes while just lying on right posture. and make a cross on his forehead with your thumb. this will psychologically sooth him.

    4. middle of the night if he starts snoring again check his pillow position and nudge him and tell him to sleep comfortably again the way you taught him.

    5. once in a while suggest him to drink bit of water in the middle of night. that will help nose and mouth to remain hydrated enough.

    6. do not be disheartened and keep doing this for as long as his muscle memories will adopt this new system. then you dont have to worry.

    7. i did this to my husband right after marriage and now i have a peaceful night for myself. i dont have to care that any more. i took care of him the way i would care a new born baby at night. it took one and a half year. The best remedy ever.

    people know many things about snoring but they simply miss out the most simplest reason. normally it happens mostly to those people who have or had a habit formed during teenage time- which is sleeping while watching television. they dont realise that they fall asleep in very odd postures which makes breathing difficult. parents dont care to see how their teenager is sleeping after certain age. so this becomes a kind of habit for their muscle system.

    learn to sleep in right posture first. if this does not work please consult the doctor. also some yoga in the morning and soothing and relaxing music will definitely help.so now you know why the drinking is bad for snoring.

    This has worked on my husband, i hope this will help you too. please do update me and send me feedbacks in my inbox message if this works.

    My best wishes! :)

    Make sure he doesn't drink alcohol as this will make him snore and if you can, try to stop him lying on his back.
