Almost everyone will snore at some point in their life. For some, however, it can affect them in ways that they become irritable, tired and generates other problems. There are snoring aids that you can try which hopefully will ensure that both you and your sleeping partner get better sleep at night.
Sleeping in separate bedrooms doesn't have to be the remedy for snoring. There are many effective treatments for it. Discovering the cause of and finding out how to quit will vastly improve your health, your relationships, and, of course, your sleep.

To start with, you might want to try some natural snoring aids which may be able to relieve the snoring problem without being invasive. If you sleep on your back under normal circumstances, change your position and sleep on your side. A task as simple as this may be sufficient to stop you snoring, particularly if the snoring is not extreme.
To start with, try sleeping on your side as this simple task may be enough to stop you snoring, especially if you normally sleep on your back and you are not a strong snorer. You could try raising the bedhead a few inches as it could assist breathing and move your jaw and tongue further to the fore. If possible, attempt to sleep without the use of pillows to help neck muscles.
Don't eat or drink alcohol before going to sleep as they both make the muscles more relaxed in your throat.Although pills and medications help you sleep (but not your partner) they relax the muscles to the extent that the snoring becomes louder. High fat milk products should also be avoided for similar reasons.
Losing weight can be a good snoring aid, particularly if your snoring is only moderate. Even a small weight loss can vastly reduce or stop snoring as it will reduce fatty tissue at the rear of the throat. Many people who suffer chronic snoring have been found to be middle-aged and overweight with other medical problems.
Snoring is sometimes a symptom of a life threatening disease called sleep apnea and people who suffer this will awake on several occasions during the night but not know they have and is a proper obstruction to breathing although snoring alone does not involve stopping breathing.
Finally, if these methods of how to quit snoring still don't work, I suggest you consult your physician. .
