I use to snore so loud I woke myself up. I never would share a room with anyone on retreats. I had extensive dental surgery and my snoring stopped. The surgery changed the shape of my teeth just enough that when my jaw is relaxed my mouth still stays closed. DH said it was worth the cost to stop the snoring. Well he snored too as loud as me. But we had our vents cleaned and took out the ceiling fan in the bedroom and his snoring almost stopped. It's not loud anymore. All types of things you never think of can cause or stop snoring. Snoring is dangerous to your health. I though I was going to have to have the machine until the dental surgery cured it. I never would have believed it.
