This apparently works, a mate who I worked with told me about it. If you have a Brewery near you go to it, take a little plastic bag and ask if you can collect some of the hops off the floor (they wont be missed) then get some material, ie-cotton etc, something strong, and make a little pouch and put the hops inside (obviously not still in the plastic bag!), put in the microwave until warm and sleep with it under your pillow, something in the hops mixed with warmth stops snoring apparently.

I'm embarrassed to say that I snore quite a bit! I have had my nose broken 4 times (rugby, not chav fights ) so thought it was blocked but having seen a specialist, he's told me my nose is not wonky, but my bottom jaw is out of alignment with my top jaw!! In fact, it's further backwards and when I'm lying on my back, it tends to close up my throat slightly. Basically, there's nothing that can be done. Drinking makes it worse (especially red wine) as your muscles become more relaxed.

Having tried everything (plaster on bridge of nose, all sorts of throat-coating liquids etc), I ended up trying a "Snoreban". It's a mouth guard which you mould so your bottom jaw aligns to your top jaw. Having worn a mouthguard for years when I played rugby, I didn't think it would be a problem - I think it cost about £40 or so.

To be completely honest, it has worked like a dream for a couple of years (and my wife wil vouch for that) but there is a couple of downsides:

1) As it effectively locks your jaws together, you can't breath through your mouth (or talk!!) so it's no use if you've got a cold or your nose is blocked!
2) The first few weeks whilst you're getting used to it is quite painful, and my gums bled a few times.
3) I must have looked like a complete ****!

I would sugget you try your friend (!) tries it - nothing ventured, nothing gained in my opinion. Feel free to PM me if you want any other details.

I find a swift elbow in the tit stops the g/f from snoring.

That aside, lose weight and don't drink alchohol in the evening.
