Snoring happens because your throat is not stiff enough. Things that make that worse include gaining weight and drinking alcohol so avoid both of those please. Treat any nasal stuffiness. You could consider a nonprescription device called Provent, or a boil and bite dental guard if needed. If you are unusually tired or there are pauses in your asleep breathing, please seek medical attention to look for sleep apnea.
