Lose weight. CPAP.
CPAP first - having sleep apnea usually destroys your energy levels and makes it extremely difficult to lose weight.
When I first got a cpap, I asked my wife if I’m still snoring? She looked pensive and said no, it’s more like a heavy breathing. I asked her what she meant by that and she said you know, like Darth Vader.
That was an early model though. They’re much quieter now!
Mine is silent unless you take it off. I can’t sleep without it now.
Same. Yeah these days, if you hear a lot of noise, that’s a good indication something is wrong like a bad mask or hose seal or the humidity chamber is not in all the way.
Step 1: Get tested for sleep apnea. If you have it, snoring is the least of your worries. Don’t skip this step.
Otherwise, sleep on your side, elevate your upper body (Amazon sells wedge pillows).
If you are certain you don’t have apnea, you can also try a chin strap. Just be sure any chin strap you buy pulls your chin up, not back, as this will A: Obstruct breathing, and B: cause major jaw pain.
To expand on everyone’s suggestion of testing for Sleep Apnea. In home overnight testing is now way more common, comfortable, and less expensive. It’s basically a watch, a finger O2 reader, and a single quarter sized sticker on your chest; fairly unobtrusive overnight test at home.
There are also other options then CPAPs, one in particular is an Oral Appliance, basically a custom fit mouth guard that slightly brings your lower jaw forward to open up your airways. You wear this overnight and it can solve both snoring and sleep apnea.
Losing weight is a great remedy for many.
