The invention relates to a snoring reduction apparatus (1) comprising a position determination unit (3, 4) for determining a position of the person, an actuation pattern determining unit (5) for determining an actuation pattern, according to which the person is to be actuated, depending on the determined snoring and the determined position of the person, and an actuation unit (6, 7) for actuating the person in accordance with the actuation pattern. Since an actuation pattern is determined not only depending on the determined snoring, but also depending on the determined position of the person, the actuation pattern can be adapted to the current position of the snoring person. The consideration of the position of the person while determining the actuation pattern and the corresponding actuation of the person allow more accurately stimulating a person, in order to more effectively reduce snoring of the person.
