Exercise does so much for you, it is a wonder there is anybody in the world who does not work out on a regular basis. Exercise not only keeps you trim, fit and healthy, it also helps you to keep habits like snoring at bay. I actually know of people who exercise because they don’t want to snore, and the interesting thing is that the often get very positive results.
As a medical professional who has been in the business for a couple of decades, I would recommend right first and foremost that any snorer needs to be losing weight before trying anything else. I would only suggest some other kind of approach if the person is not suffering from obesity or something similar.
People stopping snoring should by all means avoid tranquilizers and sleeping pills. These things tend to put you to sleep so deeply that the subconscious part of your mind that could have helped keep the snores at bay is hampered. If you steered clear of them, you should find that the snore will gradually fade away from your sleep.
I once had a roommate who snored so badly that it made difficult for me to sleep at the same time that he was sleeping: I had to look for times when he was not in. When I could take it no more, I finally had a long word with him. The next night, I didn’t hear the snores? and I never did again. It was the embarrassment that did the trick. Try that on your snoring friend too, it just might work.
