Some people wear ear plugs, others sleep in a separate room, and there are devices that can help improve the snoring, like mouth splints (sort of like sports mouth guards) that hold the jaw in a better position for breathing.
However, if the snoring is especially loud, it could also be a sign of a breathing problem, and the snorer should maybe have an exam. The health care professional may suggest a sleep study to see if there may be an obstruction of tissue in the throat and soft palate causing the loud snoring.
If this is the case, it can often be helped by a device called CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) which helps keep the airway wide open by a stream of air resulting in greatly reducing snoring. CPAP and sleep studies are also used in the diagnosis and treatment of a condition called sleep apnea, which is associated with snoring. Sleep apnea is a condition with periods during sleep when you are unable to take normal breaths and actually can stop breathing for short intervals. This can result in serious secondary conditions. Sometimes the first symptom of sleep apnea is complaints by bed partners about their mate's snoring.
Of course, some people also snore without having medical problems. In those cases, it can be positional. Usually it is worse when people sleep on their backs. To prevent that, some people prop themselves in bed on their sides with pillows. Alternately, some more creative solutions to prevent someone from turning to sleep on their back include pajamas with a pocket in the back that holds a rubber ball which is uncomfortable to lie on and people typically reposition to their side instead.
I used to have also problems with snoring, specially when I used to sleep on my back. While I am not into into surgical solutions I looked for an other options.
There are different solutions for snoring: exercises, different natural remedies, special pillows, and surgical pillar procedure.
Individually for me, the anti-snoring pillow did the trick. I have been trying different pillows and I would recommend brand called Snoreless.
