Sometimes, the line between "quack" snoring cures and scientifically evaluated remedies is thin, indeed. If you're of a musical bent, you may want to consider taking up the didgeridoo, a hollowed-out wooden tube of Australian origin that produces all sorts of thrumming overtones when played properly. Late in 2005, the British Medical Journal published research showing that the daytime sleepiness caused by intense snoring and sleep apnea is lessened by practicing the didgeridoo a few hours a day.
It's possible, the study's authors say, that the "circular breathing" techniques required to play the didgeridoo effectively may help lessen snoring. It's unknown, though, whether you can derive the same benefit from more advanced wind instruments, like the flute or oboe.
Although some would question whether it's a true solution, buying your spouse/partner some nice earplugs might help him or her get some sleep despite your snoring. We're currently researching the best earplugs, so look for a future report.
