1 Drugs such as sleeping pills and sedatives are  known to make snoring worse,so consult your doctor and  take alternative ones.Also avoid things that make snoring worse,apart from the two mentioned,they are alcohol,coffee and rich foods before bedtime.

Head raise

2 If you are accustomed to sleep on your back, you can add a few extra pillows to raise your head in bed.Avoid sleeping on your back,since in that position, your tongue and soft palate rest against the back of your throat, blocking the airway.You can raise the head of your bed.

3 Sleep on your side.

4 If you have any nasal congestion,try taking a decongestant or antihistamine.

5 Change your sheets and pillowcases often to alleviate bedroom allergens,and vacuum your floors and curtains very often.

6 Use nasal strips, available at pharmacies. They work by lifting and opening your nostrils to increase airflow.
