Question:My boyfriend wakes me up with his snoring. Any suggestions?
Answer:What makes the snoring noise is air struggling to get through the throat when the uvula (the little hanging ' bell' of tissue) blocks it and the skin vibrates. (Vibrating mucus can also cause it, but that' s not usually behind long-term snoring.) So one of the keys to stopping it is to unblock the throat and reduce that vibration.

One supplement that claims to reduce the noise level of snoring is Snor Away. A highly researched blend of olive, sunflower, almond, sesame and pep-permint oils with vitamins, it comes in a spray that coats the back of the mouth and throat, effectively unblocking the uvula. Just two squirts will last six to eight hours because of the special time-release for-mula. Another similar product is Neversnore. They are both worth a try.
