Before considering this option you have to be sure your nasal passages are clear and that your lips are tucked into your mouth before your use the surgical tape.

All snoring is due to your airwaves becoming obstructed for some reason. Usually, this is because in deep sleep all of your muscles go so lax they rub up against each other. But you can also snore because of a physical deformity or from a physical growth. The only ways these can be cured is through medical intervention.
Sleep apnea is one of these and could be quite dangerous, affecting your entire quality of life. This is where you momentarily choke and wake up when you are in deep sleep and start to snore.
