    If you are into not taking medications or placing objects on your nose, try these tips first. If you pack your pills (having a couple) under your head, you are less apt to snore. Please don't take sleeping pills or tranquilizers just before you go to bed or your snoring will probably get worse!

    If you are overweight, one fo the ways that you can lessen snoring is to lose weight. It is not healthy for the human body to be overweight and the flesh will weigh heavily on the human body. This tends to increase snoring. You will find that if you lose some weight, the snoring will lessen as well.

  3. Step 3

    It is important to drink milk, eat cheese, or have any other dairy product before you go to bed. Dairy products tend to build up mucus in the system (the back of the throat), which actually makes snoring worse!

  4. Step 4

    Sticking to a regular sleep routine will help combat snoring. It is also important to try and sleep on your side (if at all possible). This will also lesson the amount of snoring that your partner will hear. Don't think that because you can't hear yourself snoring...that you aren't doing it! If someone tells you that you snore, you probably do!

  5. Step 5

    Sometimes, nasal strips will work. These are meant to open the nasal passages, making it more difficult for snoring to emerge. Nasal strips have worked wonders for some individuals that have snored all their life. They do not cost much and if they work, it will seem as if a miracle has come about.

  6. Step 6

    If you smoke, than please stop! Try not to smoke right before you go to bed because it causes irritation within the throat, which will make snoring more obvious. If you can't stop smoking, try not to smoke before you go to bed. This will at least keep the smoking to a minimum.
