Sleep on your side, which may keep your tongue from falling to the back of your throat.
Get 7-9 hours of sleep each night as sleep deprivation may increase your risk of snoring.
Elevate the head of your bed by a few inches or sleep on a wedge-shaped pillow, which may help keep your airway open.
Limit or avoid alcohol consumption for at least three hours prior to sleeping, as alcohol may relax your throat muscles, which causes snoring.
Avoid taking sedatives before sleeping for the same reason.
Stop smoking, which is good for many reasons, but it may increase your risk of obstructive sleep apnea, which may increase the likelihood that you will snore.
Maintain a moderate weight because an excess amount of tissue in the throat may cause you to snore.
Treat chronic allergies, which may restrict airflow through your nose and cause you to breathe through your mouth, which may increase the likelihood that you will snore.
Try mouth, throat, and tongue exercises to strengthen these muscles.
Try surgery to remove tissue from the throat, which will allow greater airflow and may end the snoring.
