Answers:
I have the same problem.
Its really embarrassing, Nasal spray is really good.
A sea salt solution nasal spray is great and you can get it from the chemist for under ten bucks!
It clears your nose right out before you go to bed.
Also before you go to bed, breathe through your nose and keep concentrating on taking deep breaths through your nose. I find this works and I stay in that breathing pattern all night.
try those breathe right nose strips
you should sleep sideways, that minimize your snooring..
Without going into surgery in your nasal passages. You may lessen this by using a pillow that props you up more. Using a nasal spray that keeps the passage open. You not mention your age, it very possible that surgery is the only answer. You need to see an Ear & Throat specialists to get a determination.
BigM,
sounds like you have a deviated septum. Correctable through minor surgery.

My hubby snores so loud it keeps us up as well, and i know he can't help it, but from what i've found out laying on your back makes you snore louder, so avoid laying on your back, also i found this info for you on the web....
If hugging a pillow doesn't help, you can tackle the problem with using a tennis ball. Sew a little pouch on the back of a top and tuck a tennis ball inside. At night, if you start to roll onto your back while you're asleep, you'll get a nudge from the ball, prompting you to get back on your side.
Lose Weight! Weight loss can reduce your snoring by easing any constriction of the upper airway.
Quit Smoking. Tobacco smoke irritates mucous membranes, so your throat swells, narrowing the airway. Smokers also have more problems with nasal congestion.
If you regularly take any kind of medication, talk to your doctor about alternatives. Some drugs can make snoring worse, including sleeping pills and sedatives.
There is surgery available now if your snoring problem is a function of sleep apnea.
