Question by Skylar: What are some Snoring solutions?
I’m in a collage dorm right now, and my best friend who shares it with me snores. She does it so loud, and she has taken pills from the docter, and it dosen’t work. She also has the oppertunity to go to surguery, but she would be at risk. Can anyone help?

here’s a nice kind way to do it, instead of waking her up, turn her body so she’s on her side. Close her mouth. There! (it works, i ‘ve tried it on my sister)

There are hundreds of products, exercises, medical devices, drugs, and surgeries purported to treat snoring. However, in most cases, simple lifestyle changes can stop snoring. They include:
* Don’t drink alcohol within three hours of bedtime.
* Avoid sedatives and antihistamines (especially at bedtime).
* If your are overweight, exercise.
* If you suffer from allergies, try to eliminate allergens in the bedroom such as removing a pet, regularly washing your sheets in hot water to remove dust mites, or removing any mold.
* Sleep on your side.
* Use a humidifier if your home is too dry.
There is a variety of products designed to help you sleep on your side — a position that may decrease snoring. These may or may not help.
There is also a variety of products designed to dilate the nasal passages, such as nasal strips or nasal support devices. These may work in some people with congestion or nasal abnormalities.
Other products include pills, sprays, and herbal products that purport to decrease nasal congestion and devices to correct (eliminate) mouth breathing. These haven’t been aggressively studied.
If you have a jaw or mouth abnormality that is causing nasal obstruction, your dentist may fit you with a mouthpiece that may correct the problem and lessen snoring.
If your doctor suspects that you have sleep apnea, treatment includes:
* Weight loss, if you are overweight.
* CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure). This is a device that blows pressurized oxygen into your nose to force open collapsed airways.
* Surgery. Somnoplasty uses radiofrequency ablation to shrink the tissues of the soft palate. There is a variety of other surgeries less commonly performed to treat sleep apnea as well as other forms of serious snoring.

sleeping with her head propped up
put vicks rub under her nose
drink warm milk before bed.
I know some heavy snorers who do all that every night and it helps them alot, when it doesn’t make it go away it at least makes it quieter and not so bad.

Restore Medical Systems makes the Pillar System which they claim will stop snoring. It is an outpatient procedure and she would have to pay for it out of pocket (insurance would not pay for it) but it looks like it has good potential.
Otherwise Breathe Right strips help some people, go right on the nose at night.
Decongestants could help. Oxymetazoline (Afrin 12-hour spray) works well, but you can only take it 3 days before you have to stop for a while or congestion will worsen. Pseudo-ephedrine or phenylephrine are over-the-counter pill forms that can help, but these solutions are only if it is nasal congestion that is causing the problem.
An oral appliance may help. Basically like a mouth guard to keep your tongue out of your throat.
If she snores, she may have apnea too. Ask a doctor if a sleep study is in order. If she does have OSA, a CPAP or BPAP machine should stop the snoring as well as providing medical benefits.

Just get some high strength nose strips or chuck a blunt object across the room at her head.

Tape a tennis ball to her back. This will stop her from lying on her back and the snoring will be greatly reduced, or stop altogether.
A Canadian recently invented a T-shirt that will stop her snoring. It sells for about $32 Canadian (or American, pretty much the same now) and works on the same principle as the tennis ball.
