I believe I'd be successful in my next try if it weren't for this one problem...

When I lie on my back for a long enough, and begin to feel my body loosing it's feeling, after a while, the mucas in my nasal area seems to want to drift into the back of my throat, giving me the urge to swallow. I discovered this is the reason we snore when asleep, but deliberately snoring seems uncomfortable.
every time the urge to swallow comes it's unavoidable, and when I do swallow I feel my body awaken slightly.

sleeping on my side eliminated this but for some reason it seems to make wilding much more difficult :/
I'm not sure what kind of help I could really get, but any ideas or shared experiences on the matter would be fine.
