You've tried jabbing him in the ribs and sneaking a clothes peg on his nostrils when he's deep in dreamland; still the snoring doesn't stop. But have you tried the dozens of products on offer through the British Snoring Association? It depends on the kind of snoring problem you have, but if things are getting serious, then you can choose from nasal strips and

dilators to nose drops and sprays or the more expensive jaw guards.

Another useful solution could be the Chin-Up Strip if you're a 'mouth breather'. On the other hand, if you're the one sharing the bed with the snorer, perhaps a set of ear plugs might be the only solution.
