Dr Raj recommended snorers to repeat this relatively simple exercise three or four times to help alleviate your symptoms.
In a TikTok video, which has been viewed more than 400,000 times he said: 'If you want a bit more resistance you can push your tongue against a spoon.'
He then went on to demonstrate this by holding a spoon across his mouth and using his tongue to push against it.
Push your tongue out as far as you can without it feeling strained. The aim is to flex the muscle to improve strength.
Count to five seconds in your head then relax your tongue back inside your mouth for another five seconds.
Dr Raj explained that this exercise, and the others he recommends, 'are basically resistance training for your tongue and throat muscles, to tone them up so they don't flap around or collapse when you sleep'.
'Ultimately, having stronger throat and tongue muscles will help you wake up feeling fresher and 'stop your partner giving you a sleep divorce' Dr Raj added.

The social media star advised those living with the problem to also try moving their tongue from side to side inside their mouth.
