You need to consider taking some advice on how to stop snoring.

Smoking, drinking and recreational drugs that act, as sedatives will make you snore a lot more than if you didn’t use them. Reducing or quitting smoking, drinking and taking recreational sedatives, you will not only stop snoring, you will benefit your health in lots of other ways. Another benefit is the amount of money you will save, by stop smoking, drinking or taking recreational drugs. Now that we’ve got the most practical stop snoring advice out of the way, let’s go on to more.
Try Sleeping On Your Side
Partners of people who snore tend to find that by poking their snoring partner and getting them to sleep on their side or stomach tends to reduce the amount of snoring. Its seems that people snore less when sleeping on their side or stomach compared to them slleping on their back. Consider this stop snoring advice. A simple trick to help you not sleep on your side is to sew or tape a tennis ball in to the back of your pyjama tops. This will encourage you NOT to attempt to sleep on your back. Be sure you are healthy enough to sleep on your side or stomach, though.
Keep Your Mouth Shut
The most extreme stop snoring advice, which I personnally have never tried, was something seen on BBC News – tape your lips together to keep from snoring. To snore your mouth must be open. Before considering this option you have to be sure your nasal passages are clear and that your lips are tucked into your mouth before your use the surgical tape.
See Your Doctor
All snoring is due to your airwaves becoming obstructed for some reason. Usually, this is because in deep sleep all of your muscles go so lax they rub up against each other. But you can also snore because of a physical deformity or from a physical growth. The only ways these can be cured is through medical intervention.
Sleep apnea is one of these and could be quite dangerous, affecting your entire quality of life. This is where you momentarily choke and wake up when you are in deep sleep and start to snore.
