Try the Breath Right nasal strips. May not totally cure the snoring but they help.

Donkey punch to the forehead will stop snoring every time.

More seriously, what's the cause of the snoring? Nasal passages, throat, simply the way you(or she) is sleeping?

Need more info to answer clearly. I don't snore (or at least don't snore loud enough to wake either myself or my wife) but if it's a sinus thing, get the breathe rite strips. If it's a throat thing, close your damned mouth. /images/graemlins/smile.gif Or I suppose you could try the spray.

If it's the way you sleep, stop sleeping that way.

As a last resort, surgery.

I snored like a chainsaw for nearly my entire life until six months ago. I learned about sleep apnia (sp?). You may have heard of it recently, it's what Reggie White died from. Snoring is one of it's main symptoms.

I went to a sleep clinic and got a CPAP machine. I am basically hooked up to a machine every night, but I sleep great, I don't snore, and I added 10-20 years to my lifespan.

Sometimes snoring is caused by being overweight.

Do you have problems keeping your mask on all night? I have one of these and found that often I'll rip it off in the middle of the night -- and I have weird dreams about it, too. (One time I told my wife I couldn't put it back on because "The Germans are trying to kill me with it!")

[Mansavage]

For some reason, I actually love that damn mask. I look forward to putting it on, probably becuase I sleep so much better now.

I never looked sexy, so the mask isn't that much of a problem. I've heard some people don't wear the mask becuase it kills any chance of romance. I just reply that I'm married, so any chance is already dead.

I have had sleep Apnea for 10+ years and been using a CPAP machine for about the last 7 years. It goes absolutely everywhere with me. I can't sleep without it.

Snoring is a symptom of apnea but that main thing with apnea is that you actually stop breathing for extended periods of time while you are sleeping. Your body reacts and kind of wakes you up and jolts you into breathing again. Result is you never, ever get into a good deep (REM) sleep and end up becoming severly sleep deprived. You also end up with lowered O2 in your blood when you stop breathing and between the sleep deprivation and reduced O2 it really messes you up.

The best solution I have ever heard about is the CPAP machine. It is horribly unsexy but without it a person with apnea will not get a good nights sleep.

I personally have never had a hard time using the machine with the only exception being when I have a really bad cold or sinus infection and it is hard to get air into me via the nose. The noise it makes actually helps me sleep better as well. It kind of drowns out everything else and you blank it out and sleep great.

There is surgery but I have never been told that it is as effective as the CPAP machine. Best I have ever heard was a 50% sucess rate with surgery and that it was extremely painful
