In reality no. Its likely you have a more chronic case - hope you dont need to get a CPAP as i am sure other commenters will be along to suggest shortly.
meanwhile:
- loose a bit of chunk, be honest if you are not a greek god.
- cut down on the booze, at least when the new squeeze is in town.
- try and get more sleep and if possible have more raised pillows.
I find the first and last in the above list made most difference for me but it should be noted i am married 20 years so dont have need to impress a new woman.

I’m currently in the dog house with my new partner due to my snoring. It’s bad as I’ve woken myself up most nights with it recently!
Has anyone got any ideas on what to do? I’ve tried sleeping on my back, left or right side and front with no luck.

Nose strips worked a little for me, but losing weight took me from being able to wake the dead with my snoring to pretty much silenceHas anyone got any ideas on what to do? I’ve tried sleeping on my back, left or right side and front with no luck.

Weight is slowly coming down. Bit of a blip as had most of Feb off work on leave so treated myself a bit, but only 1kg up from the start which isn't too bad.
Don't drink and normally get around eight to ten hours a night. Sometimes longer.
Something like this stopped my partner suffocating me with a pillow > https://www.boots.com/snoreeze-snoring-relief-oral...
I'm a chronic snorer, affects the quality of my sleep massively, and perhaps the quality of my wifes sleep even more.
I'm not overweight, do like a drink though, I have bought a somnoguard from amazon which pushes your lower jaw forward and it seems to be doing the business. Quite expensive and a bit uncomfortable at first but definitely worth a go...

Mention was made of CPAP. Although folk can get enthused about them you should try whatever you can before resorting to one. But depending on what's going on with your throat and how that impacts your sleep you might not escape it. If you get tired during the day, doze off, wake up during the night randomly or someone sees that you're stopping breathing you should continue on with your other efforts and also see your doctor as a priority at least to see if you do have obstructive sleep apnoea or not.
My missus is a light sleeper and would wake up to the slightest noise, her snoring or my snoring would wake her up and she would not get back to sleep. But truly anything would wake her up. It was getting so bad she was hardly sleeping at all. She often blamed it on my snoring, which probably didn't help. then one night I gave her some ear plugs and she slept the whole night woke up like a new women. She has worn ear plugs every night since and sleeps the whole night every night. So moral of the story, give her some ear plugs, it wont cure the snoring but it may save the relationship.

I sleep like a log. Rarely wake up during the night (normally for a piss if I do). I’m not a morning person and dislike them with a passion but normally awake fully 30 minutes or so after waking up. It’s the other half that is more effected!

The expanding foam one's from here work: https://britishsnoring.co.uk/shop/macks_slim_fit.p...I used to snore when I was overweight a few years ago and these made the World of difference to my partner. I tried the mouth-piece mould thing and while it helped, was uncomfortable to wear. The foam earplugs worked so well my partner said her sleep was better than ever.

General point; the thing about sleep apnea is that you don't realise you're waking up every couple of minutes. So as far as you're concerned you've had a good night's sleep when in reality you haven't at all. getting up in the night for a pee (like more than once) is also a symptom. It’s the other half that is more effected!
As per previous advice, go for a MAD and stick with it for a week. I use this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07BTFB6TK?psc=1&r...

Following with interest as my snoring is bad, particularly after a few beers.
Room mate on a rugby tour was ready for murdering me last year. Wife isn't too impressed either.
I'm not overweight so that's not a case.
Alcohol is a relaxant and it has that effect on the muscles in your throat, hence more snoring after alcohol.Room mate on a rugby tour was ready for murdering me last year. Wife isn't too impressed either.
