you cannot drink alcohol close to bedtime

if your (trying to) digesting food while your sleeping
you'll have a very difficult time of it...
because digesting food is very energy consuming
the equivalent of having sex.... thus sleep is ruined

you can hug an extra pillow close to your chest in bed
and keep your mouth closed or prevent your jaw muscles
from completely relaxing ...then your jaw drops down
and the snoring starts...

coffee will keep you up or i should say caffeine
which is found in soda and all chocolate
so drop the caffeinated soda and chocolate
especially several hours before bedtime...
Raven, I dont drink at all, not that I ever had an issue with booze, just over it, maybe a beer or two at a cookout but working at an irish pub in my eraly 20s i did plenty of drinking.

Only one coffee a day when i wake up, no soda or tea at all either.

Try not to eat any where close to bed time.

One thing that might be causing it is I have TMJ, really bad, to the point my jaw clicks every time i chew or yawn. Thats my main factor right now.

never had any trauam to my jaw, from injuries.

I dont have a high arch in the roof of my mouth which is another common factor.

Well have to see what the survey says and the questions, maybe weed some other issues out.
