Do you share your bed with a snorer? Yeah, me too. It's the worst, isn't it? And no matter how many mid-night aggressive tosses and turns I make to "accidentally" get him to stop snoring, nothing tames those snores.

Research has shown that in those whose BMI is over 30, losing weight can help stifle snoring.
But here's the kicker: it's because it will also help them lose weight in their tongue.
“Most experts have not typically focused on fat in the tongue. We now know it is a major factor,” Dr. Richard Swab, a professor of medicine at the hospital at the University of Pennsylvania, told The Sun.
Say, for example, your partner needs to lose 20 pounds. That could take anywhere from 10 to 20 weeks, or longer, to achieve.
The most popular are the Breathe Right Nasal Strips, which I can fully attest, do not work even a little bit. Or at least they didn't work for my husband.
I mean, my husband's snoring might disturb me, but I'd feel pretty bad if I made him stick things up his nose before bedtime.
Although I have reservations about sharing my bed with someone who resembles Bane.
Since weight loss doesn't happen overnight, and a lot of the other anti-snoring products on the market don't work, you can try the "Snoring Swatter."
It's a fist-shaped device with a handle just long enough so that you can gently (or not so gently) nudge your bedmate.
You will undoubtedly still be roused by those snores, but you'll probably enjoy using this until the offending snorer stops.
