    My snoring appears to be dust / hayfever related.

    I wash my bedding regularly, vacuum my bedroom regularly, also under the bed, and have a shower before bed.

    It appears to have reduced my snoring.

    PS. CPAP didn’t work for me, made things much worse.

        It caused the lining in my nose to swell which in turn blocked my nose, which caused me to breathe more through my mouth, which caused me to choke and wake up explosively gasping for air. It was not fun … at all.

        Over the period of seven days I tried several different masks with the help of my local sleep clinic who initially tested me via a full sleep study, then fitted the masks and evaluated the CPAP machine data.

        CPAP isn’t a universal “fix”, which is what I was told about before going into the trial.

          Oh I didn’t mean CPAP being a silver bullet, it just seemed like a pretty good solution for avoiding dust. I don’t have any problems breathing though my mouth with CPAP so that is why I was surprised
