How this snore quiz works
This snoring quiz uses four simple checks you can do at home in about a minute. Each one tests a common reason for snoring. A few safety questions then look for signs of sleep apnea, and one question about your teeth and jaw makes sure we don’t suggest a mouthpiece that isn’t made for you.
The snore types it looks for
Nose. Air doesn’t flow freely through your nose, so you breathe through your mouth at night. Read our guide to nasal dilators.
Mouth. You can only snore with your mouth open. If you snore with your mouth closed too, read snoring with your mouth closed.
Tongue. Your snoring gets much quieter with your tongue held forward. Try these tongue exercises for snoring.
Back. You snore mostly on your back. See how a wedge pillow for snoring can help.
No single cause. The snoring may come from the soft tissue at the back of your throat. Read do snoring mouthpieces work?
Many people have more than one type. The quiz tells you which one to start with.
When to see a doctor first
If someone has seen you stop breathing, choke or gasp in your sleep, or you often feel very sleepy in the day, talk to a doctor about sleep apnea before you buy any anti-snoring product. The quiz asks about these signs and tells you when to get checked first. It is not a medical test.
