Change your sleep position
Lying on your back makes the base of your tongue and soft palate collapse to the back wall of your throat, causing a vibrating sound during sleep. Sleeping on your side may help prevent this.

Lose weight
Weight loss helps some people not everyone. If you've gained weight and started snoring and did not snore before you gained weight, weight loss may help.

Practice Good Sleep Hygiene
Bad sleep habits can also lead to snoring. Working long hours without enough sleep means when you finally hit the sack you will be overtired.

Open nasal passages
If snoring starts in your nose, keeping nasal passages open may help. It allows air to move through slower.

Avoid Alcohol
Alcohol and sedatives reduce the resting tone of the muscles in the back of your throat, making it more likely you'll snore.
