Another good idea if you snore, is to literally tape your mouth closed at night. This feels super weird at first but it seems to have many positive effects for some people.
I was a HUGE snorer and rarely felt fully rested from 8 hours of sleep, woke up sore etc. Now my quality and quantity of sleep is totally different, it's really amazing.
It might not solve everyone's problems, especially if you have something really badly wrong, but it's a near-free, easy intervention and it probably won't hurt you to try it for a few nights. They make fancy tape, purpose-built for this, such as [0], but you could probably also use scotch tape or masking tape or whatever you have.
Also interestingly, after 2 weeks of taping, I developed the habit of sleeping with closed mouth even without the tape, so arguably this has cured my snoring permanently. This is the closest thing to "one weird trick" which I've ever seen in real life.

- biofox 6y agoI second this. I've been taping my mouth closed at night for the past year, and it has improved my sleep dramatically -- completely eliminated my snoring and drooling. I found surgical micropore tape to be best. It's cheap, breathable, and easy to obtain. From trial and error, my two main recommendations are to first apply it to the back of your hand to reduce the adhesiveness, and fold a corner over before applying. Both of these make it much more convenient to remove, particularly if you need to do so in a hurry (e.g. needing to sneeze).
