Do you have a deviated septum, if so that causes snoring,you could use one of those nose strips. Some people tongue rolls back and causes snoring, you can get a mouth piece to stop that.
Need a remedy for snoring

I set up a bedroom in the guest room and I sleep there. Either my wife is waking me up or I am waking her up. Easy solution for people over 50
my wife uses ear plugs, also when i lost wait the snoring got quieter. My snoring lessened when i got my tonsils out as well. What you can do also is get a hepa filter and put it in that persons room to create white noise to counter it.
There's a product called SnoreStop that comes in pills and a spray. The spray has helped me quite a bit.
I snored terribly for many years until finally going to see a doctor about it in my mid-20s. Snoring was only a symptom of obstructive sleep apnea! Two terrible nights' sleep in a sleep clinic (one for observation, one for titration) and I was issued a CPAP.
I've never slept so well in my life! It takes a few days to get used to it but my quality of sleep is so much better now, I simply will not sleep without it. The technicians were amazed that I averaged 99.5% compliance over the next year - I was amazed that anybody wouldn't wear it every night.
Mine has an adjustable warmer/humidifier so you can keep the air moist in the winter so I don't get as many sore throats anymore. Plus, I can pull the blankets all the way over my head to stay extra warm and the CPAP continues to deliver fresh air to me.

The breathe right "extra" work for me. Probably not sufficient for severe snoring, however.

My girlfriend went to see a doctor for snoring. I was against it knowing exactly what was going to happen. She spent two miserable nights at the hospital, wasting insurance money. The diagnosis? (like I didn't know this was coming)....Sleep Apnea. I consider the whole 'apnea' thing another big money maker and mostly a bunch of hogwash. She got that horrible CPAP contraption and tried it out for a while (who knows what her medical insurance got charged for all that stuff). After a week she realized there was NO WAY she could sleep with that thing on her face. I told her my opinion about the whole debacle and she agreed and got rid of it. Snoring is just part of life for some folks. Sometimes it's tied to being overweight or some genetic condition. Whatever it is caused from I believe the medical community has latched onto it and spread fear to promote this 'apnea' cash cow. I don't recall thousands of deaths being caused from snoring before this CPAP junk came out.
Just my opinion and many will slam me I'm sure. Glad it worked for you however. You must be the one REAL case out of hundreds where it actually worked well. I've known MANY at my work that got 'diagnosed' just like my girlfriend...and NONE of them stayed with that CPAP contraption.

I hope for your gf's sake that your right and not the medical professionals,cause if they are you are doing her a great diservice! Getting use to a CPAP takes weeks of trial and error and help from your partner. I hated it,took it off,complained, thankfully my wife supported me and my life is 100 times better than before CPAP. I started using it in 1999 and know it saved my life.

*Snoring* does not cause thousands of deaths. Snoring is just one of the symptoms that the person *may* have a breathing issue while sleeping. The real killer is sleep apnea. The pauses in breathing ruin the quality of sleep. The effects of sleep apnea include extreme fatigue during the day and elevated blood pressure. Sleep apnea will not directly kill a person but it will take years off your life in addition to ruining the quality of your life due to excessive daytime sleepiness.
I have a male relative who was diagnosed with sleep apnea. The CPAP machine has made a huge improvement in his health because he's now able to get real, restful sleep at night.
Sleep apnea is not something to mess around with. And for those who have sleep apnea, CPAP is a godsend.
You mentioned that your girlfriend "spent two miserable nights in the hospital". It sounds like she had a sleep study done. During a sleep study, the technician watching the patient monitors a collection of sensors attached to the patient. If your girlfriend stopped breathing during the sleep study, the equipment would noticed that condition. That may have been what lead the doctor to prescribe a test drive of the CPAP machine. CPAP machines are not cheap so they are not prescribed unless there is a real need.
>I've known MANY at my work that got 'diagnosed' just like my girlfriend...and NONE of them stayed with that CPAP contraption.
The CPAP machine does not work for everyone. I have personally tried two different machines and two different mask styles. Despite having top-of-the-line masks, I could just not get comfortable and sleep with the mask on. Wearing the headgear while sleeping is not an easy feeling to get accustomed to. But that does not eliminate the fact that the CPAP machine is an effective treatment for people who need it. If you and your gf (and your co-workers) choose to "not stay with the contraption", that's your choice. It's the same as people who don't take their blood pressure medication or other maintenance meds every day. It won't kill you today, but the health condition that you *aren't* treating will impact the quality of your life and it will take years off your life.

Getting used the the CPAP can take several weeks as other mentioned. I would try the Res-Med nasal pillows before the full mask. Once you are used to it it will change your life. I think 80% of those with sleep apnea are still undiagnosed. The 2 nights in the sleep lab are not much fun, but that's where it all starts,
Thank you to all who have contributed solutions to the snoring problem. I will investigate further the options suggested.
Maybe quiet will once again return at night.

You could get an Old English Sheepdog. Instruct everybody in the household other than the snorer not to allow the sheepdog to sleep on or under them. If the snorer has a squishy pillowlike backside, instruct them not to allow the sheepdog to sleep on it. The sheepdog will then have no acceptable alternative but to sleep on or under the snorer's head and in doing so will act as a very good muffler. This won't stop the snoring, but at least nobody else will have to listen to it.

I don't want to get too off course from the original topic here, but I'll respond.
In my fairly small social sphere....it seems to me that an awfully high percentage of people that I know have been 'diagnosed' with apnea. I would say that the reason for this is not to help people as much as it is to fill pockets with money. While SOME may indeed suffer from an ailment where a CPAP device could help....it is my opinion, based on what I have experienced with associates (and my girlfriend) that apnea is a highly OVER diagnosed condition. I feel much the same about what you call 'maintenance meds'. Literally millions of folks are put on meds that, in my opinion, are over prescribed and basically 'pushed' on patients under threat of possible death if you don't.
Makes one wonder what we all did without CPAP machines and hundreds of different pills to stay alive. You'd think that our life expectancy in the 1950's was about 45.

I have to disagree. Snoring is a part of life for some people in the same way that polio, smallpox or the plague were just a part of life. Now we know better.
I hope for her sake that you're right, but in my case there was a real, documented issue that I stopped breathing many times during sleep and my oxygen levels dipped significantly. I can tell you for a fact that I sleep much, much better now, I'm well rested in the morning which has made an enormous difference in my quality of life.
My father also snored terribly as long as I could remember. He went in for a sleep study and found that he suffered from severe obstructive sleep apnea, far worse than mine. Now that he has a CPAP he wakes up refreshed in the morning and no longer feels tired throughout the day.
In my opinion, wearing a CPAP mask at night is far more preferable to having surgery. Especially since my outcome with the CPAP is excellent and surgery has a far lower success rate.
