I talked to a buddy of mine the other day who tried Stop Snoring Now out and he was amazed at the results. He'd been having trouble snoring for a few years and it was starting to impact not only his job, but his marriage as well. He had tried a few different methods to stop snoring, but none of them seemed to work for him. He ran across this book and within a short amount of time his snoring had subsided. I have never seen him with more energy and life. He's also excited about the impact it has had on his personal and professional life. He said it was the best $30 he'd spent in his life.
Stop Snoring Now comes with a 60 day guarantee as well as some free material. Two of them are related to weight loss, which as has been talked about before can reduce snoring on it's own. It's like getting three snoring solutions in one.
If you decide to check it out, let me know how it works for you.

How to Cure Snoring
Is there a cure for snoring? If so, how can I cure my snoring?
Have you asked yourself these questions? Are you wondering if you will always be plagued by this problem?
For some people, there is no cure for snoring outside of surgery. These people have larger
soft palate and uvula which causes their snoring. The only way to reduce the size of these areas is via surgery.
For others, there are other solutions which may actually cure snoring forever. Keep in mind there are no "one size fits all" cures and each person is different. What cures snoring for one person may not work for another.
Consider if you have one of the following factors that might lead to snoring
- overweight
- allergies
- drinking alcohol before going to sleep
- constant sinus infections or colds
All of the above are somewhat controllable factors when dealing with snoring. If you don't qualify for any of those, then some of the products we'll look at might be good for you to try to see if they can cure your snoring.

Snoring Home Remedies
Here are some simple things you can try at home to reduce or eliminate your snoring:
1 - Go on a diet - a majority of the people that snore are overweight by 20% or more. The more overweight you are, the more likely the airway will collapse and lead to snoring. Don't go crazy on a diet, maybe just start off by eliminating one thing you eat daily. Maybe it's the afternoon run to the snack machine or the sodas. Switch to either a healthy snack or drink diet sodas. You'd be surprised how much difference one little change can make. Once you've gotten that change in (usually takes a week or two), make another small change. Your weight will start decreasing and your chances of snoring will start shrinking as well.
2 - Limit alcohol intake after dark - alcohol will not help you sleep better, in fact it will increase the chances of you snoring. Don't drink and sleep. Any questions?
3 - Stay away from sedatives - like alcohol, anything that relaxes you also relaxes the muscles in the head and neck. Once they relax, the chances of you snoring increase dramatically.
4 - Quit smoking - easier said than done, I know. Snorers tend to be smokers and vice versa. Lay off the cigs and the snoring will disappear.
5 - Sleep on your side - most snorers sleep on their backs. If you sleep on your side, you have less chance of snoring.
6 - Sew a tennis ball on your pajamas - OK, not sure about this one. Supposedly, it will cause you to roll over to your side instead of sleeping on your back. Personally, I don't like anyone or anything touching me when I sleep (except clothes of course). Not sure I could handle the ball on the PJs.
7 - Get a smaller pillow - A large pillow can create a kink in the neck. Kinking the neck can lead to snoring. Make sense?
8 - Elevate the head of the bed - not only might this help with snoring, I've heard it's good for people that suffer from acid reflux too. Double bonus!
9 - Allergies - get tested for allergies. Start taking medicine or shots to reduce/eliminate the allergies and see if your snoring improves.
10 - Ear plugs - not for you silly. For whoever you are keeping awake at night. Not really a snoring home remedy but it may be good as a temporary workaround.
There you go. 10 simple home remedies for snoring. Nothing to extravagant or expensive. Some lifestyle changes more than anything. Try them out and see how helpful they are.

A Snoring Room?
There's an article on Bobvila.com that talks about a new trend in homebuilding. They are creating an attached sleeping room to the main bedroom where the snorer (or spouse) can get a good night's sleep.
It sounds like an expensive solution to me, I would rather treat the problem than hide away in another room.

Why you need a snoring solution
Why should you care if you snore? Here are a few reasons why snoring needs to be dealt with in a timely fashion:
- Snorers have a higher risk of stroke, high blood pressure, and heart attacks
- Higher chance of fatigue during the day. You may not think it's disturbing your sleep, but it is.
- Snoring leads to sleep apnea in 1/5 of all chronic snorers
- A quarter of all children snore on a nightly basis, most having some form of sleep apnea
- Less sleep = higher anxiety, poor memory, inability to concentrate, and irritability
Unless you live by yourself, you are potentially causing some of the same problems for the people that are impacted by your snoring. Heck, even if you live by yourself, you don't want to keep the neighbors awake.

Snoring News
According to this article in the Australian Herald Sun women want a silent partner:
"Snoring! We often treat it as a joke, but for the long-suffering partners of snorers it's no joking matter... Some snorers clock in at 92 decibels, which is a noise similar to low-flying jet aircraft. "
No snoring solutions in the article unfortunately, but it's interesting that the report received a flood of responses showing how big a problem snoring is for a sleep-deprived partner.
Also on the theme of snoring and relationships, an article on insidebayarea.com asks if snoring is ruining your relationship.
"Snoring is a "big relationship divider," said Dr. Laura Berman, a relationship and sex therapist in Chicago. She said snoring creates frustration and resentment on both sides: the snorers, who can't help it, and those suffering next to them. "

Stop Snoring Treatments: Do They Work?
“For every problem, there is usually more than solution”
I’m sure some bright person came up with that quote before me, but the reasoning is the same, especially with snoring. They are hundreds of different stop snoring treatments advertised that "guarantee" their effectiveness. Herbs, pillows, and even surgery are some of the stop snoring treatments I’ve seen advertised. Obviously, there isn’t one cure all treatment for snoring. A lot depends on the individual involved. Over the next few weeks, we’ll take a look at some of the different treatment to stop snoring. We’ll discuss which treatments are good and which ones are a little sketchy.
For the record, I’m going to stay away from the surgical option for the most part. Maybe it’s just me, but I prefer to keep sharp objects away from nose and mouth and my face in general.
