What are some proven methods to reduce or completely stop snoring?

Doctor's Answer

Many spouses do suffer chronic fatigue themselves if they are not able to sleep due to their spouse’s snoring. Some wear ear plugs to sleep. However, it is important to remember that your husband may be snoring out an SOS for help. Snoring is not just noise, but may be a sign that there is also sleep apnea.

To help your husband stop snoring and avoid complications of sleep apnea, do bring him to a doctor first to determine the anatomical or medical conditions causing the snoring. Only if the correct diagnosis is first made, and the management individually targeted, can the snoring be reduced or stopped.
