Hello, thank you for your question! There are several possible causes for snoring: Being overweight; in this case, losing weight is often enough to stop or greatly reduce snoring Alcohol consumption can cause or worsen snoring Sleeping position: although snoring can occur in any position, it is most common when sleeping on the back. Sleeping on your side, with a pillow between your legs to support your spine, and with a pillow supporting your head for a neutral neck position, can help. Other causes of snoring may require medical intervention, such as sleep apnea, or a deviated nasal septum. For these, however, a medical diagnosis is required. I hope this has been helpful to you, and if you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me! Tom Samaha, pharmacist
