One thing that has helped with snoring is to put a postage size piece of medical tape over your lips when you sleep. I read about this in the book Breath and it is working for us. Our snoring has reduced and we are having less wakefullness with sleep. It took about 7-10 days to adjust, but it works. Don't cover your entire mouth/lips, just a vertical piece of medical tape below nose to chin.

@jal333 What an interesting idea. I use a CPAP mask, sometimes my mouth opens which causes me dry mouth and may disrupt my sleep. I was thinking about getting a chin strap, maybe I'll try the tape first (though my wife will probably be scared I might somehow manage to swallow it). What type of tape are you using? The thick brown tape or something thin like Micropore (https://www.amazon.com/Micropore-Surgical-Tape-Yards-Dispenser/dp/B00ICF3TG2 )?
