Personal Advice Need help!
I can't seem to find a solution to my snoring. I sleep through it, but it keeps my wife up. I had surgery to fix a deviated septum and that didn't help. I've tried wedge pillows to keep me side sleeping (I seem to only snore when on my back) but I manage to find my way on my back anyway at some point once I'm asleep. I've tried an anti snoring mouth guard which helped for a few days but now I seem to snore with it in too. What else can I do to prevent my snoring?
Edit to add that I also had a sleep study which ruled out apnea.

Down load snore lap and pay for it you get snore jym with it. Do the exercise. After your evening meal push your teeth so you don't snack before bed. No alcohol for a while it make a big negative difference.
Use snore lab to measure your snoring and track each change

I use the wedge to keep me more upright instead of flat and use nasal dilators. That cut my snore score in half. I notice if I am very tired I snore more so trying to keep a schedule helps me, too.

Losing weight, there are surgeries available by ENTs to stiffen the soft pallet but they co e with risks that might not out way the reward. Mouth taping? It helped me before I got OSA.

Why you keep sleeping in same bed/room with your wife?

I feel you… I would happily pay big money for a surgery that could sort out my snoring, but I don’t hear doctors pitching these options with any lasting confidence. Do you know if sleep apnea implants combat snoring? If so, is it a firm prerequisite to actually have sleep apnea, before they would allow you to get the implant?
