Wife swears by this, no effect on me. Evidently melatonin is supposed to aid seratonin uptake or something.<BR/>2) New pillow.<BR/>3) Lose weight, particularly through exercise.<BR/>4) Adjustable bed. Takes pressure off back. Highly recommended.<BR/>5) I have not found the breathing strips to do one bit of good for me, but the wife had nasal surgery to widen her abnormally narrow nasal passages and says it is the best thing she could have done.<BR/>6) glass of wine before bed.

They seem to work very well. My mom is a chronic snorer, sounds like a bear sleeping on her back, but only like a small cat with adenoids when she's on her side.
