You are so right. And it does not deserve to be joked about. Snoring is a problem for both the snorer and those who cannot sleep because of the noise. Snoring may be a symptom of sleep apnoea. Watch the video - all the way through - and see how snoring and sleep apnoea are assessed and the valid ways to stop!
@@Snorer thanks for the reply, I will try your methods, I've been married 7 years and I can count on my hands how many times I've tried sleeping and not waking up my wife, I've had a sleep Apnea tests and awaiting the results. I'm investigating the dental device. Thanks again for the information
@Al-Azim Ahmed wonderful news that you have had a sleep apnoea test and are investigating a prescription, custom-made dental device. As I point out in the video, these are NOT the same as the gadgets you can buy online... best of luck to you and your wife. Drop me a line on snorer.com to let me know how you get on.
I hate that back sleeping is the worst, because that's the only way I can sleep lol. If I sleep on my side, I will get a sore neck and my top arm goes to sleep. I stick to my back, to keep my neck from getting sore (I can't sleep on stomach at all, no idea how people do that and breathe). Going to try the 'smart nora' next week, but that one seems pretty hit-and-miss. I tried a chin strap, and had my loudest snore night with it on, hahah.
Good luck with the Smart Nora. May I ask have you been assessed for sleep apnea? It’s good to get a baseline assessment. From that you can find the most appropriate way to stop snoring - if if it’s snoring due to sleep apnea - get it treated.
My snoring is extremely loud. I used the snore lab app and couldn’t believe it. Doesn’t appear to be apnea but very loud regardless. I’ve lost relationships because of this. Tired all day no matter how much I sleep and feel low. Fall asleep in the cinema.
Please seek help. Consult your GP/ primary care physician urgently. You do not need to feel this way. Help is available that will improve your quality of life and extend that life. Keep in touch. Adrian

What about people who have a pretty severe overbite and the advancement of the lower jaw with a device is almost impossible or puts to much pressure on the bottom front teeth to accomplish that?
Thanks for commenting. I think from your question that you know the answer! I regret to say that oral appliance therapy would not be a great option as the increased vertical opening required to compensate for the large overbite would typically be intolerable. So, try an alternative treatment option. Consult a sleep-trained professional. Good luck.
I have had a snoring problem since forever. Had surgery to expand nasal passages when I was 14 but did nothing to improve the snoring. Also had the sleep apnea test which came back negative. Don’t smoke drink or am overweight and nasal airway is clear. Am currently awaiting to see an ent specialist so in the meantime found the only thing that has significant results as a tongue retainer. This has taken a snore lab score from 80 down to 15. It’ is is very uncomfortable but is the only thing that work while I wait to see a specialist. Could a tongue tie be the main cause of my snoring. Great video by the way
Thanks for commenting. Glad you enjoyed the video. The ENT surgeon is the person to ask re a tongue tie. I would suggest you explore oral appliance therapy. We have a free information guide here: snorer.com/information-guides/ (available for all the treatment options including oral appliances, PAP and surgery). Best of luck and let me know how you get on. Cheers Adrian
Hi. Thanks for commenting. I’d suggest you speak 1-2-1 with a sleep-trained healthcare professional. Snoring is not trivial. There ARE evidence-based ways to stop - sadly there are many reasons why you may snore - with as many answers to how to stop. So, I cannot wave a magic wand and you stop. Try this: snorer.com/stop-snoring-see-your-pharmacist/
i have severe OSA.... i tried CPAP for couple months, couldn't get used to it. Tried couple different masks, chin strap, the works. I got "better sleep" not using any of it, which basically left me back at square one. I'm obese, so that's something I can work on.... i kind of have to, cuz this drowsiness is not fun. I'm going to visit ENT, see if they can give me an assessment, to discard other things. I'm pretty sure i have a deviated septum, not sure how severe it is though, we'll see what the doc says.
Well done for persevering. I wish you success. Oro-Maxillo facial surgery is the last option - along with a tracheostomy. Check this page out: snorer.com/information-guides/things-to-discuss-when-considering-surgery-for-snoring/
I only snore on my back. I have no signs of being exhausted during the day. However my snoring is driving my wife crazy. She scheduled me for a sleep test but it’s way too expensive. Any ideas?
Chris, thanks for commenting. I cannot give medical advice. I suggest you listen to your wife (always a good move!). More seriously, she may be witnessing more than 'just' snoring and has your best interests at heart. Re cost - you have to compare the cost of inactivity vs the cost of doing something. IF your snoring is actually a symptom of sleep apnoea/apnea then it could take literally years off your life, and reduce the quality of that life too. The sleep test is the only way to find out if snoring is due to sleep apnoea/apnea. Good luck!
Growing up I would yell at my father for snoring so loud I would wake up 2 doors down the hall. Now a days, girlfriends and friends tell me I snore and it really gets to me lol
Thanks for commenting. Snoring is involuntary. Not much fun. Consult your GP (primary care physician) for help stopping. If they can’t help or don’t know how to then try this online consultation with a pharmacist. snorer.com/stop-snoring-see-your-pharmacist/
I’m actually quite young for my snoring, I’m a female and only 13 turning 14 next year and my sister told me I snore a lot, I fell asleep during the day on a call with my friend and she told me I snored. And now I’m embarrassed and scared cause I even got camp coming up and when I did some research I realised it is bad to snore during the day too.. I feel like if I ask my mum to go to the doctor she will say no and I don’t know what to do! Please help :(
Hi there. I'm not a Doctor so I cannot give you medical advice. However, I know enough about snoring to say that it is NOT right for a child to routinely snore. Occasional snoring perhaps if you have a cold would be understandable. I would urge you to consult your General Medical Practitioner (your primary care doctor). Speak to your Mum. If possible try to get them to video you on their phone - this would also help the GP. They would be interested to see if you are arching your head back in an attempt to open your airway. Wish you every success. Oh and we have GP Guidelines on our site here: snorer.com/gp-guidelines-snoring-sleep-apnoea/ I suggest you print and send them to your GP ahead of your appointment. Keep in touch. Good luck! Here to help.
I’ve had sleep apnea since I’ve been a baby. Once I gained weight tremendously after having a baby (I gained 70 pounds! Like wtf?!?) I noticed I was sleeping more……… I wanted to sleep 12 plus hours a day. I just thought I needed this amount of sleep but I never ever felt rested if this makes sense. I also smoked back then, and quit. Quitting helped so much I was against quitting but it was causing me to wheeze. After I quit I didn’t wheeze anymore but it didn’t help with my slee apnea. So yeah basically I never grew out of my sleep apnea, in fact it got worse as I aged……… unless you have a medical Professional to place your neck to keep your airways open at night, your screwed lol. I ended up losing weight, and it didn’t work like I had hoped for…… I then Developed hypertension at the age of 30, and started sleeping more (a sign thag my apnea was getting worse) taking a baby aspirin helped (it really did! I could tell the difference between the days I would take this and didn’t) and taking an allergy pill helped as well to keep my airways opened more….. but it didn’t cure the problem. The only thing that ever helped me and I still have apnea was that breathing device and breathing exercises. The device is needed when your airways become too relaxed, and the breathing exercises helped keep my muscles from relaxing so quickly…….. they say singers don’t really suffer from sleep apnea so I had to learn everything a singer does and do all those types of exercises.
Thanks for commenting. I’d support the most appropriate treatment for the medically diagnosed individual. Historically, oral appliances were confined to primary snoring but today, custom-made, adjustable, prescription Mandibular Repositioning Devices may be preferred by patients for mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnoea. The caveats are many. Including the current lack of objective evidence of wear and treatment efficacy for those in vigilance critical roles. And of course dental and medical collaboration and money. I’m a fan of MRDs for severe OSA as combination therapy with PAP as an MRD may reduce the PAP treatment pressure and make it easier to comply with. But of course the argument against is that the patient has two things to get used to. I’m summary, everyone is different and expert diagnosis and prescription of the most appropriate treatment is necessary.
Thanks for commenting. I’m sorry to hear you had surgery and still have a problem. Please go back to the surgeon and ask them! They have your medical history and should know what YOU need. Good luck.
Thanks for commenting. Please go back the sleep unit. They want to help you. Choice of mask is very important and there are masks that suits side sleeping (and prone). It’s sometimes easier to side sleep/prone with a PAP pillow too. The message is you have to persist in the first two weeks particularly. Get support. It is worth it. When you get it working for you - you’ll feel so much better.
I once called a group of friends whilst sleeping cause my phone was broken, i started snoring and now im REALLY scared of snoring LOL but then i brushed it off by saying its a prank😎😎
Sorry to hear you’re scared of snoring. Maybe it’s time to get it checked! Then you’ll know if it’s something to worry about or not, and you can get treatment if needed. 👍 good luck.
Hi Richard. Thanks for commenting. Surgical options are typically considered last as they are not reversible (known as invasive) when other options are. There is also the question of evidence of effectiveness. Palatal surgery (as you describe it 'uvula minimization') historically was the non-thinking approach to everything snoring and sleep apnea. It is no longer a blanket approach because the evidence of effectively resolving the primary complaint isn't there. And the evidence of compromised ability to tolerate PAP is. I hope this helps. While for some people surgery (soft tissue and bone 'orthognathic') can be a game changer, it is drastic stuff.
Hi Corinne. Thanks for commenting. Well done for taking your breathing and sleeping seriously. As self help isn’t cutting it - it’s now time to consult a sleep-trained healthcare professional. Things to consider may be an ENT assessment to see if there are anatomical issues that could be readily addressed and if your snoring has relatively recently begun.
I have strong snoring and also look like Ii stop breathing for a moment in a video which my wife made. What should I do. I feel dizzy and had headache if i sleep more.
Thanks for commenting. Take the video , and go with your wife, to your GP (primary care physician). If they cannot help you or don’t know how to help then try this online consultation with a pharmacist. snorer.com/stop-snoring-see-your-pharmacist/
Ok. Noted. So, here are some reviews of high and low tech ways to avoid sleeping on your back: snorer.com/positional-therapy-vest-sleep-expert-review/ and snorer.com/turn-over-youre-snoring/ Let me know how you get on. 👍
Thanks for commenting. Yes air contains oxygen 😉. The point we’re making is that Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) therapy is pumping air from your room and not pure oxygen from a cylinder or tank. It’s a common misconception.
Hi sir, I think snore can be transmitted, I wasn't snoring before in fact not even since I was born until I stayed with someone who snores a lot , and now I can even hear myself snoring ☹️, I don't smoke, drink or not even fat , And I feel something deeper inside my nostrils 😒 ,
Hi Cray. Thanks for commenting. That is an interesting theory: snore contagion! Not one I've heard of before. However, if you wake up hearing the end of your own snore - that's a classic symptom of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). See your General Medical Practitioner. Increasing age, male gender and if you're sleeping on your back may be factors if you don't smoke, drink and you're not overweight. Remember snoring is not a joke. It may be a symptom of sleep apnoea, which if untreated may take years off your healthy life. Good luck! Adrian
I really felt the same..It may seem funny to others but i never had snoring until a share a room with someome who snores a lot during my college days.And now the intensity of my snoring has increased and i feel very uncomfortable to sleep anywhere other than my room because of the embarrassment.
Snoring is never funny. Not for the snorer or for those around them. I'm skeptical over the idea of it being somehow infectious though. Perhaps as you've aged other things have also happened i.e. weight gain, nasal stuffiness perhaps - or you're sleeping on your back? Consult a sleep-trained pharmacist or your GP for help. Have a look at our new wizard snorer.com/wizard/
Thanks for commenting. It’s not much fun is it to be told you snore. But there are real solutions. And you have the power and now the knowledge to stop snoring - sleep and breathe at the same time. Good luck. It’s worth it.
Even if u have severe sinus u will still snore...yes. I lost 7 kg but my sinus is hmmm... I don't smoke too...but it's diff..sometimes I snore badly ..sometimes nothing
Thanks for commenting Janu. I’d suggest you consult a sleep-trained healthcare professional. And if you experience difficulties with your sinuses then seek a referral to ENT for an assessment.
Thanks for commenting. It’s a terrible nuisance isn’t it. There are many causes so this is WHY snoring gadgets often fail. They’re not necessarily useless but they’re not matched to the particular problem you have. You need to consult a sleep-trained professional and get the most appropriate help for YOU. Hope this helps. Best wishes Adrian
Thanks for commenting. Did you record them? It can useful to demonstrate the issue objectively. Use the voice recorder app on your phone and I’d suggest NOT having the conversation first thing in the morning. Good luck.
Absolutely right. Weight is the single biggest confounder. If you're overweight, and can lose a little bit, you will have a significant reduction in how much you snore (and decreased OSA severity if that is your condition). And of course if you gain weight things get worse.
Just Use 1 cottons ball every night which use in medical and put some water 💧 and then squeeze the water and put this in your belly button every night , Then No snoring from day 1
@taiyeb I have two problems with this approach. 1) No diagnosis of the problem has occurred first. 2) No objective evidence of the effectiveness of this approach appears to exist. So, it would be super news for everyone with snoring problems to evidence this method. Do get in touch and we can take a baseline assessment of the snoring problem with a home sleep apnoea test kit and then repeat the test using your approach. Look forward to hearing from you.
I certainly was. Not sleeping on your back is a simple and effective way to reduce or even stop snoring. And hell it's humour! Made you comment didnt it! :)
This is just another channel that is just repeating everything he read or saw somewhere else and trying to make it his own. I have snored since I was very young and even if I slept on my stomach, on my side, or even upside down so the whole gravity bit is completely false, fake, and just BS. Therefore the issue is far greater than just gravity.
Thanks for your comment and opinion. Which will be no surprise I don’t agree with. Not going to argue with you. All I would add is to urge you not to self diagnose and self treat. Have a good life. Other channels are available!
Hi Varnika. Thanks for commenting. So sleeping on your back (known as supine) means gravity works against you. Couple of things happen: 1. Your tongue falls back and narrows your airway 2. Your mouth may fall open (and you dribble attractively!) and this further narrows the space behind your tongue So while this happens to everyone, people may only snorer in their back. Snorers in all positions may have worsened snoring on their back and experience (breathing pauses) sleep apnoea events. Those with sleep apnoea may experience more and longer apnoeaic events on their back. Hope this helps?!
Thanks for commenting. Interesting. My view is that treatment follows diagnosis. So we cannot state that X treatment or surgery is the "cure". I found this today and thought of your tongue tie suggestion. Makes interesting, cautionary reading. undark.org/2021/09/08/short-on-evidence-dubious-therapies-turn-to-the-tongue/
If snoring are a major problem in your marriage, then it's your marriage, not snoring. Using snoring as grounds of divorce? Please!!!!. Something else is going on other than snoring
U r right ..my husband also snores very badly n It keeps disturbing me whole night but divorce has never ever come to my mind due to this bcoz we luv each other.
Thanks for commenting. I’ve not responded earlier as I wondered what others may contribute. Now, I think it’s time to say there is snoring and “OMG annoyingly loud” snoring; that mean bed partners (who may well be experiencing symptoms of insomnia themselves, in these challenging times) find the only solution is to leave the bedroom. This departure is the beginning of the end of intimacy for some relationships. And this in turn may precipitate, over time, divorce. It’s a slippery slope. So, it’s not “snoring as grounds for divorce” but snoring that deprives the partner of sufficient quality rest. And perhaps snoring is the sound of impending doom for your relationship!
Hi thanks for commenting. I’m sorry to hear that. But don’t give up. Please consult sleep-trained healthcare professional and explain. Your sleep and quality of life are worth it.
Snoring is a serious proplem, it can cause problems in a marriage, its a bigger problem then people think. Thanks for the video

A dental appliance is as good as CPAP for many with OSA
Thanks for commenting. I’d support the most appropriate treatment for the medically diagnosed individual.
Historically, oral appliances were confined to primary snoring but today, custom-made, adjustable, prescription Mandibular Repositioning Devices may be preferred by patients for mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnoea.

5:57 does air not contain oxygen? Isn't oxygen what our cells needs in order to survive?
Thanks for commenting. Yes air contains oxygen 😉. The point we’re making is that Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) therapy is pumping air from your room and not pure oxygen from a cylinder or tank. It’s a common misconception.
Hi sir, I think snore can be transmitted, I wasn't snoring before in fact not even since I was born until I stayed with someone who snores a lot , and now I can even hear myself snoring ☹️, I don't smoke, drink or not even fat , And I feel something deeper inside my nostrils 😒 ,
Hi Cray. Thanks for commenting. That is an interesting theory: snore contagion! Not one I've heard of before. However, if you wake up hearing the end of your own snore - that's a classic symptom of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). See your General Medical Practitioner. Increasing age, male gender and if you're sleeping on your back may be factors if you don't smoke, drink and you're not overweight. Remember snoring is not a joke. It may be a symptom of sleep apnoea, which if untreated may take years off your healthy life. Good luck! Adrian
😂😂😂snoring can’t be transmitted u joker
I really felt the same..It may seem funny to others but i never had snoring until a share a room with someome who snores a lot during my college days.And now the intensity of my snoring has increased and i feel very uncomfortable to sleep anywhere other than my room because of the embarrassment.
Snoring is never funny. Not for the snorer or for those around them. I'm skeptical over the idea of it being somehow infectious though. Perhaps as you've aged other things have also happened i.e. weight gain, nasal stuffiness perhaps - or you're sleeping on your back? Consult a sleep-trained pharmacist or your GP for help.

I'm watching this video because my girlfriend woke me up that i was snoring so loud
Thanks for commenting. It’s not much fun is it to be told you snore. But there are real solutions. And you have the power and now the knowledge to stop snoring - sleep and breathe at the same time. Good luck. It’s worth it.
Even if u have severe sinus u will still snore...yes. I lost 7 kg but my sinus is hmmm... I don't smoke too...but it's diff..sometimes I snore badly ..sometimes nothing
Thanks for commenting Janu. I’d suggest you consult a sleep-trained healthcare professional. And if you experience difficulties with your sinuses then seek a referral to ENT for an assessment.
I am not a smoker, alcoholic, but I snore
What is the reason
Thanks for commenting. It’s a terrible nuisance isn’t it. There are many causes so this is WHY snoring gadgets often fail. They’re not necessarily useless but they’re not matched to the particular problem you have. You need to consult a sleep-trained professional and get the most appropriate help for YOU. Hope this helps. Best wishes Adrian
Anyone watching this while their partner is snoring right next to them?
Thanks for commenting. Did you record them? It can useful to demonstrate the issue objectively. Use the voice recorder app on your phone and I’d suggest NOT having the conversation first thing in the morning. Good luck.
Weight does play role in it
Absolutely right. Weight is the single biggest confounder. If you're overweight, and can lose a little bit, you will have a significant reduction in how much you snore (and decreased OSA severity if that is your condition). And of course if you gain weight things get worse.
Just Use 1 cottons ball every night which use in medical and put some water 💧 and then squeeze the water and put this in your belly button every night , Then No snoring from day 1
Thanks for commenting. Interesting. How does this work?
@@SnorerThis works , I am doing it every night since years , its Indian Ancient therapy
@@taiyebjamena3852 I must try this. I started snoring 2 years ago
Pls how do u do it
@taiyeb I have two problems with this approach. 1) No diagnosis of the problem has occurred first. 2) No objective evidence of the effectiveness of this approach appears to exist. So, it would be super news for everyone with snoring problems to evidence this method. Do get in touch and we can take a baseline assessment of the snoring problem with a home sleep apnoea test kit and then repeat the test using your approach. Look forward to hearing from you.
i snore maybe i have sinusutis i think so
Thanks for commenting. Please consult a sleep-trained healthcare professional. Your sleep is worth it. 👍

Adrian will take that as a compliment! 😆
Ok WTF was he yelling get off your back!
I certainly was. Not sleeping on your back is a simple and effective way to reduce or even stop snoring. And hell it's humour! Made you comment didnt it! :)
My snoring cause problem to my relationship, My partner beginning to dislike me
Thanks for commenting. So sorry to hear. Please consult a sleep trained healthcare professional.
This is just another channel that is just repeating everything he read or saw somewhere else and trying to make it his own. I have snored since I was very young and even if I slept on my stomach, on my side, or even upside down so the whole gravity bit is completely false, fake, and just BS. Therefore the issue is far greater than just gravity.
Thanks for your comment and opinion. Which will be no surprise I don’t agree with. Not going to argue with you. All I would add is to urge you not to self diagnose and self treat. Have a good life. Other channels are available!
Do you have sleep apnea when you sleep in back
Hi Varnika. Thanks for commenting. So sleeping on your back (known as supine) means gravity works against you. Couple of things happen:
1. Your tongue falls back and narrows your airway
2. Your mouth may fall open (and you dribble attractively!) and this further narrows the space behind your tongue
So while this happens to everyone, people may only snorer in their back.
Snorers in all positions may have worsened snoring on their back and experience (breathing pauses) sleep apnoea events.
Those with sleep apnoea may experience more and longer apnoeaic events on their back.
Hope this helps?!
Or just get your tongue tie revised. Tongue ties cause mouth breathing because the tongue doesn't rest at the top palate. 🤷♀️
Thanks for commenting. Interesting. My view is that treatment follows diagnosis. So we cannot state that X treatment or surgery is the "cure".
I found this today and thought of your tongue tie suggestion. Makes interesting, cautionary reading. undark.org/2021/09/08/short-on-evidence-dubious-therapies-turn-to-the-tongue/
If snoring are a major problem in your marriage, then it's your marriage, not snoring. Using snoring as grounds of divorce? Please!!!!. Something else is going on other than snoring
U r right ..my husband also snores very badly n It keeps disturbing me whole night but divorce has never ever come to my mind due to this bcoz we luv each other.
Thanks for commenting. I’ve not responded earlier as I wondered what others may contribute.
Now, I think it’s time to say there is snoring and “OMG annoyingly loud” snoring; that mean bed partners (who may well be experiencing symptoms of insomnia themselves, in these challenging times) find the only solution is to leave the bedroom.
This departure is the beginning of the end of intimacy for some relationships. And this in turn may precipitate, over time, divorce. It’s a slippery slope.
So, it’s not “snoring as grounds for divorce” but snoring that deprives the partner of sufficient quality rest. And perhaps snoring is the sound of impending doom for your relationship!
None of your suggestions work
Hi thanks for commenting. I’m sorry to hear that. But don’t give up. Please consult sleep-trained healthcare professional and explain. Your sleep and quality of life are worth it.
