Dairy
Eating any cheese at night can be especially bad and, even if you are only slightly lactose intolerant, that will only make things worse. If you drink milk before bed, that may be the underlying root of your snoring problem. Dairy products generally produce mucous in the throat that can form a lining down your airway.
This obstruction causes our tissues to vibrate as air tries to pass by and creates the sound of snoring. Dairy products that include sour cream, milk, cheese, yogurt, and other heavy creams leave a residual layer of mucous after you swallow. This mucus becomes thick, depending on how much dairy you are eating and what specific kind of dairy it is, and can cause snoring.
The mucus can also form in your nose and sinuses and block the flow of air at night, which also causes snoring. So, if you experience thunderous snoring, try experimenting by eliminating all dairy from your diet for just a week. You may be surprised to see that your snoring disappears altogether.
