Probably not way to completely stop – but if you don’t sleep on your back – that helps.
use “breathe right” nasal strips
Try Breathe Right nose strips. Works for me.
sleep on your side or you can buy nasal expansion patches in any pharmacy.
OK, here are some tips i found:
Elevate your head by sleeping on a thicker pillow or multiple pillows will help reduce your snoring.
Don’t drink alcoholic beverages, take sleeping pills, tranquilizers, or antihistamines right before going to sleep, they will cause your muscles to relax and limit your air passage way.
Avoid dairy products, which can cause mucus build-up right before you go to sleep.
If you are overweight, losing some weight will reduce snoring by increasing the space in your air passage way.
Sleeping on your side instead of your back will help to prevent snoring.
A common remedy to prevent sleeping on your back is to sew a tennis ball to the back of your shirt; the discomfort of sleeping on the ball will prevent you from staying on your back.
Try following a regular sleep routine.
Try taking in a little bit of honey before sleeping.
Don’t eat a big meal right before bed, if your stomach is full it will push up on your diaphragm and limit breathing passage ways.
Avoid eating “rich” foods such as cakes, cookies, chocolate and pizza.
Sleep on a firmer pillow, a pillow that’s too soft encourages your throat muscles to relax and narrows your air passageway.
Inhale steam before sleeping or sleep in a room with a humidifier turned on, which will reduce congestion and moisturize the throat.
Purchase some nasal strips and put them on before going to sleep. Nasal strips will open up your nostrils and allow more air to come in, thus reduce snoring.
If you are a smoker, stop smoking, if that is not feasible then avoid smoking right before you go to bed. Smoking causes inflammation and swelling of the throat.
If your snoring still continues and it seriously affects your sleep, please go see an MD.
Thx
In Holland they sell a spray that stops the vibrating of the air:so you hear no more snoring
Do a google search

I tried most things like nasal strips, throat sprays, and even an accupressure ring that you put on your finger. I found that they were all a waste of money.
After speaking to my Doctor I found that most problematice snoring comes from the throat and not from the nasal passages – like most people seem to think. That’s why nasal strips often don’t work.
I got a product which is available in pharamcies across Australia, and is also available online. It’s called Slumber Guard – and it comes with a guarantee.
It’s also alot cheaper than the product that Doctors prescribe. The other thing that I foudn great was the fact that it’s available in pharmacies and not just some backyard internet business.
This product is specially designed to hold the lower jaw in a forward postion in order to stop the lower jaw from allowing the soft palate to collapse into the throat.
I just pop it in my mouth when I sleep and it stops me from snoring.
A large part of understanding snoring is understanding the anatomy of the human body and how it works.
There are exercises that can be performed to correct this disturbing bodily function.
