There are many different snoring solutions on the market, some more reputable than others. And there are many ways to approach eliminating snoring.

• Lifestyle Changes
  There are many habits and vices that can promote snoring: drinking alcohol, smoking, overeating, under exercising, consuming caffeine.
• Sleep Posture Correction
  Many of us snore especially loudly when we sleep on our back. Various pillows and strap-on devices are available to get you unsupine. Try sleeping on your side.
• Homeopathic Remedies
  Some people have had success with natural remedies available in health food stores and over the Net.
• Throat Sprays
  These coat the soft tissues of the throat in lubricating oils, allowing the air to move more freely and lessening the noisy vibration.
• Nasal Dilation
  These include adhesive strips which hold open the airways of your nose, plastic devices to hold open your nostrils, and nasal sprays which reduce congestion or the swelling of nasal tissues.
• Mouth Breathing Correction
  Many people would snore less if they would just learn to breathe through their nose. There are some solutions that will keep your mouth closed.
• Mouthpiece Devices
  Devices are available — some custom-fitted by your dentist — which pull your lower jaw or tongue forward, thereby creating enough space in the throat to prevent breathing obstruction.
• CPAP (Continuous Positive Airways Pressure)
  Machinery which blows air through your nose via a mask, preventing disruption of breathing and eliminating snoring.
  Palatal Inserts
  This approach when used reduces the vibration of your throat tissues by stiffening them with permanent (but reversible) inserts of polyester material.
• Palate Stiffening by Scarring
  You can achieve palate stiffening and reduce noisy vibrations by injecting a scarring solution (injection snoreplasty) or surgically by creating scarring with laser or scalpel.
• Radiofrequency Tissue Reduction: Somnoplasty and Coblation
  Radiofrequency Tissue Reduction (RFTR) consists of piercing the tongue, throat or soft palate with a needle connected to a radio frequency generator. Inner tissues shrink, but outer tissues which contain your taste buds, are left intact.
• Surgery
  Various surgical procedures with names like uvulopalatoplasty are available which remove or shrink palate and throat tissue, making it easier for you to breathe.
