Exercise daily to maintain a healthful body weight and improve muscle tone. Avoid exercise within 2 hours of bedtime, because exercise may make it harder to fall asleep.
Avoid heavy meals, alcohol, sleeping pills, and antihistamines before bedtime.
Sleep on your side rather than on your back. (Sew a pocket onto the back of your pajama top, and put a tennis ball inside the pocket. This will keep you from sleeping on your back.)
Establish regular sleeping patterns. Go to bed at the same time every night, even on weekends.
Let the person who doesn't snore fall asleep first.
