if you aren't particularly fit right now, don't despair: there's still time for you get to the level of fitness needed. A couple months worth of cardio training and frequent hikes will allow any (former) couch potato to be in a condition to tackle the mountain.

@Something Fishy wanna pitch in?

Please forgive my am-haaratzus, but what is that?

Taking a sleeve doesn’t.

Yes it does. My father took the sleeve. And it stopped his sleep apnea and his snoring

do yourself a favor and get tested for sleep apnea

[Moshe123]

Just lose weight. It works.

Obviously only if you're obese.

A sleep study is the way to go. If it turns out you have actual sleep apnea, a cpap machine is likely the only thing that will work short of surgery, which is only sometimes effective. Losing weight will often help alleviate but not completely resolve sleep apnea. Having undiagnosed sleep apnea is dangerous since it affects your heart, often your blood sugar, and has a host of other mortality risks. If it is simple snoring and not apnea,  breath right strips will help, as will adjusting sleeping positions, some pillows, and several other nasal breathing aids you can find on Amazon.

To all who correctly understood my reply: thank you for coming to my defense.

I think having cold air in the room also helps.

And a humidifier. Builder grade forced air systems are horrible.

For mild to moderate cases oral appliance therapy can be as effective and has significantly higher compliance rate.
