Seriously though. There is little machine called a CPAP...it's like a small medical grade vacuum cleaner that attaches to a mask you wear on your face.
Provides Positive Airway Pressure. (PAP)...not sure what the C stands for. My father has had a serious problem with snoring all his life and has been through the surgery mentioned earlier and employed a number of other snoring cessation techniques...to no avail.
Since the CPAP...he goes to bed looking like a fighter pilot at high altitude...he has nothing but praise for the gizmo. Snoring can be very serious, and is often accompanied by sleep apnea, which in extreme cases can lead to death.
He claims to get a much better nights rest and wakes much more refreshed.
My snoring is usually the result of some life style choice....like drinking like a fish or something else which results in nasal swelling or other breathing passage trauma. I just lay off those things and my snoring (according to the wife) is gone.
Good Luck,
