See below: Snoring may be part of a larger disorder. It might help by maintaining an ideal body weight, avoiding caffeine, alcohol, ; nicotine. If you have allergic rhinitis or another cause of nasal congestion, treating it can help with snoring. Nasal strips ; sleeping 7.5 to 8 hours a night can be beneficial. If a deviated nasal septum is present, fixing it can help. See a sleep dr. To evaluate you.

Importantly for evaluation of sleep apnea, especially if you aso have morning headaches, daytime sleepiness, dry mouth in the mornings, night time acid reflux, and choke or gasp for air periodically at night. Hope that helps!
