What is the remedy to prevent snoring?

Does Beef Jerky prevent snoring?

• So, we went to church camp this weekend, and this is the first time I've travelled with this group, and upon arriving in the dorms, a guy from another group I knew informed me that, our Youth Leader is the loudest snorer he's ever heard. We though he was joking. That night, I had my iPod playing and could hear him snoring over my music all the way up. Needless to say it varies from grizzly bear on one end of the spectrum and a weed eater hitting a ton of steel on the other end. So, we forced him to get something to try and prevent his snoring, and upon returning from Wal Mart, his choice of prevention was eating beef jerky before bed. Needless to say, it has been a silent night with not the slightest peep. And his wife, insured us, that his snoring is something she has learned to put up with and that it's an every night thing. So I'm curious, is there any kind of study to prove this besides just seeing it happen one time? Which is sorta proof but not enough for me to add it to my random trivia.

• Answer:

  Beef jerky has no affects on that will dull the sinus irritation that causes snoring. I can assure you that it's just a fluke that wasn't snoring the night he ate the Jerky.
