Are there any positions that help a person to not snore?

My husband has a slight sleep apnea (I'm a healthcare professional) but doesn't want to use a cpap....anyway.....are there any tricks or positions he can sleep in to make is snoring not so bad. Between him and the dog I'm pretty tired!

My husband snores very badly!!!! But as long as he doesn't sleep on his back it is better. Sometimes I have to roll him over in the middle of the night to get him to stop!

Yes...tell him to lay on his side! It works!Sleep well!

You have the cure at his disposal. Get him to be compliant with the CPAP. Have him lose weight and stop smoking, if applicable. There are no special tricks.

Elevate him 8-12 inches higher (use more pillows at an angle). That should solve the problem. There is also nose strips to open nose passageways. Make sure he is at a healthy weight as well.
