| Dec 9, 2015 at 23:38 | comment | added | frank ankersly | i may have not completely explained this previously. first: DO NOT USE A PILLOW! it puts your neck into an awkward/unnatural position, which in turn sets your throat into an unnatural curve (causing snoring). Second, the small rolled-up shirt (Or small pillow) under the back ofthe neck helps align your throat to prevent snoring, and it puts your mouth/throat into a 'neutral' angle. third, if you have any congestion, work to minimize it. take as long (and as HOT) a shower as you can, keeping the front of your head in the hot water, to open airways and retard bacterial growth.. | |

| Dec 8, 2015 at 19:44 | comment | added | DoubleDouble | @VarunKN I personally only sleep with my mouth open if nothing is supporting my lower jaw. (So, the muscle relaxes and gravity gently allows mouth to open). It makes sense to me, but I could see where it may not work in all cases. (For instance, if my nose gets blocked up from a cold while I sleep it is still going to happen) | |
