"Strengthen your tongue. One of the most common causes of snoring is when your tongue slides back in your throat. The simplest way to prevent this is with a daily set of tongue exercises. But Dr. Chang said it can take weeks to have an effect and most people are not diligent in keeping them up."
From "How Can I Stop Snoring? This sleep-disrupting problem can be caused by a variety of things, but experts say there are ways to find relief" (NYT).

I have sleep apnea. My husband used to sleep downstairs because of my snoring. Since I got a CPAP machine, (and I can't sleep without it!!), I NEVER snore anymore!! I sleep a lot better too.
Men snore more than women...just sayin'
It's important to do your tongue exercises in public.
...if you don't have to.
I did (and do) these exercises (and others) because I have to if I expect my tongue to work at all these days due to the aftermath of cancer treatment. I also stopped snoring, according to my wife. I lost a lot of weight as well, which is the reason we both credited for the cessation of chainsaw mimicry.
I hope the reader is never in the position of having to do these things as I am, but it did work for me - this seems very plausible.
Where's Laslo when you need him?
Cunnilingus as an anti-snoring technique.
To whom could that be marketed?
i got stopped by the paywall; but these tongue strengthening exercises? They ARE pervy, right?
I would think strengthening one's tongue would make one popular with the ladies.
The problem is that there is no way for someone else to tell.
Unless it also lengthens the tongue. Licking ones eyebrows might be an indicator.
Maybe we need a button or something certifying that one has, as they say, "done the work".
Or perhaps Yelp reviews?
Not sure what the solution is but I am not young enough to worry anymore.
Experts! Get 'em while they're hot!
I think you did that on purpose, too, dear Althouse!!
Did a doubletake and read it twice ;0)
What wife snores so I found the perfect solution I just taped her mouth shut. Problem solved. I also do it because it guarantees you breathe through your nose all night long which is way better for you according to experts on Joe Rogan podcast who recommended this technique. I think they also use it on horses so maybe you guys will give it a try as well.
Is this a tongue in cheek article?
3 ladies were talking about the pet nicknames they had for their husbands.
The first said "I call him Silk, because he's so smooth."
The second said, "I call mine Pepper because he's so hot and spicy."
The third said, "I call my man Drambuie."
"Drambuie? Isn't that some kind of fancy liquor?"
"Mm, hmm. That's my man."
I bet he didn't snore.
Mouth tape.
It's a thing. It works - unless you have sleep apnea which is a completely different thing.
Losing weight is the #1 way to decrease snoring, partly because weight loss decreases the size of one's tongue as well as the pants size. Exercises? Sure, and maybe the wife will appreciate my efforts on both weight loss and tongue musculature.

That's the link that appears within the quote in the original post!

Seems like a great opportunity for an inventor-entrepreneur. Sadly, with Ron's death, we aren't going to see the Popeil Super Tongue Stretch-O-Matic, but it does leave an opening for the Navage guy.
