No short answer: Snoring can be a sign of sleep apnea...It needs to be evaluated and treated...If it is that much of a problem, you should see your family doc for a check-up and possible referral for a sleep study at a sleep disorder clinic..Also, try to avoid sleeping on your back..

A couple things: If you are just snoring, you can try a few simple things....Sleep on your side (they make t-shirts with tennis-balls in the back to help keep you on your side), avoid alcohol and sedative close to bedtime, and lose weight. If you are a heavy snorer, talk to your md about getting a sleep study to check for sleep apnea. This is a more serious problem that needs treatment.

CPAP,Sleep Appliance: A CPAP is the gold standard to treat sleep apnea. For mild to moderate apneas an appliance can be made that will move your jaw forward to allow more air in when you sleep.
