Stop Snoring Remedies

I am wondering what people have found effective in reducing snoring in themselves and in their spouses. My wife claims that rubbing my back while I am snoring will make me stop (for a while at least), but she’s not above kicking me. Do you do something physical that works? Do you use ear plugs or sleeping pills? Do you just move to the couch or make your spouse sleep in another room?
For snorers, do you find that how you sleep affects your snoring? I tend to be quieter if I am sleeping on my side, but then I tend to wake up with my arm asleep. I suspect that pillows are mostly to blame for snoring when sleeping on your back. Other things seem to be gaining weight and having a cold.

Gently roll them over or ask them to turn over seems to help. If the spouse continues to snore on a nightly basis, they may want to consider having a sleep study done for sleep apnea. You could also turn your radio on softly to give yourself something else to listen to while she/he is snoring.

Have you found any effective solution ? What do you think is a reason for his/her snoring ? Physical , psychological or both ? or something else ? Are you able to sleep well on background of such snoring ?
