Try these approaches: Sometimes snoring is due to partial obstruction of the airway, which may be due to uvula, and an otolaryngologist can help. Sleep apnea does associate with snoring and this should be evaluated. A c-pap unit or a dental splint may create control. Some dentists specialize in sleep disorders.

Snoring remedies: If you are overweight, losing weight not only reduces pressure on the airways, the tongue shrinks in size, further opening the airway. Don't sleep on your back ( sew a pocket in a t-shirt and put a tennis ball in it ). See an ENT to make sure that there isn't a problem with deviated septum, tonsils or adenoids. Use breathe rite strips. See a dentist to have a custom sleep device made.
