What can you do to stop snoring?...

...I am NOT overweight....I actually hit the mark for how much I am supposed to weigh for my age and height.
Both my mother and my father snore and unfortunately, I have heard that the Breatheright strips do not help the problem at all?

Do you have any suggestions on treatments?

"You can help prevent snoring by:
Avoiding the use of alcohol and medications that slow your breathing, such as sleeping pills and tranquilizers.
Eating sensibly, exercising, and maintaining a weight as close as possible to a healthy weight.
Going to bed at the same time every night and getting plenty of sleep. Regular sleep patterns help you sleep better, and more restful sleep may decrease snoring.
Sleeping on your side, not on your back. Sleeping on your back can increase snoring. Try sewing a pocket in the middle of the back of your pajama top, putting a tennis ball into the pocket, and stitching it closed. This will help keep you from sleeping on your back.
Quitting smoking. This reduces inflammation and swelling in the airway, which may contribute to the narrowing of the airway.
Raising the head of your bed 4 in. (10 cm) to 6 in. (15 cm) by putting bricks under the legs of the bed (using pillows to raise your head and upper body will not work). Sleeping at a slight incline can prevent the tongue from falling toward the back of the throat and contributing to a blocked or narrowed airway.
Promptly treating breathing problems, such as a stuffy nose caused by a cold or allergies. Breathing problems can increase the risk of snoring."
