A calm, quiet environment is conducive to quality sleep.
Snoring interrupts that restful sleep for both the snorer and their sleeping partner.
It causes daytime tiredness and fatigue, and could have serious health consequences.
The thing to bear in mind is that like many problems, there is often a solution.
Snoring is treatable and doesn't need to accompany you to bed any longer.
Before experimenting with treatments, however, it is recommended that you get a check-up from a qualified medical examiner.
You may have a more serious form of sleep-disordered breathing, known as obstructive sleep apnea.
  On-line searches for treatments reveal a wide range of devices, medications, and even exercises to be used in the fight against snoring.
Some remedies should be considered with caution and a degree of skepticism, while others have been tried and tested under scientific scrutiny.
However, before indulging in any treatments it is worth looking at your physical shape and lifestyle.
    Are you overweight? If so, this will be a major contributory factor.
Alcohol consumption, particularly in the evenings, often leads to excessive snoring.
Partners frequently report post alcohol sleep disturbances, even if the culprit doesn't usually snore.
Irritation caused by chemicals in cigarette smoke leads to inflammation of the airway.
This makes smokers more likely to snore, as the inflammation leads to narrowing and obstruction.
Nasal congestion brought about by food allergies or hay fever can also make you snore.
If you don't snore on a regular basis and have ruled out alcohol consumption and smoking, it is worth considering allergies.
Take note of the pattern and see if this correlates with particular foods or high pollen counts.
