it can be treated with a CPAP device. It stands for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. You wear a mask that covers your nose, and it keeps your throat tissues open...and voila! no snoring.

Get a sleep disorder study done ... This will show how many episodes as they call them happen while you are asleep. This includes snoring, moving around a lot, waking up without knowing about it, or not reaching the 4th level of sleep. If snoring is a problem they can fit you with a C-Pap machine that forces oxygen through your nostrils while you sleep

A lot depends upon why a person snores. My ex sounded like a freight train and even had deviated septum surgery which did not help at all. He had sleep apnea and the minute he got a breathing machine, he stopped snoring.

As others noted, it depends on why the person is snoring.
Overweight people tend to snore a lot.
I have seen breathe-rite strips advertised on TV that you can stick on your nose to hold it open so you won't breathe through your mouth as you sleep.
Also, check your matress and pillow.
And a person who sleeps on his side is less likely to snore than one who sleeps on his back.
If those don't work, a sleep clinic and perhaps intervention from a doctor are in order.
Good luck!

Be at the correct weight- and get rid of excess sinus drainage and congestion- that should help if not cure it-use surgery at a last result-D
