It took about a year, but when going to sleep I'd tilt my head back, opening my airway. At first it was a bit uncomfortable, but I wanted to tilt bakc as far as I could to try to build a memory of that position. If I snored, my wife would wake me up and I'd tilt my head again. I just kept this up, and eventually I didn't have to think about it anymore. My wife says she can't even remember the last time I snored. I'm mostly a side sleeper, so instead of letting my chin down to my chest, I just tilt it back.

I wouldn't mind a link to the pillow you got.
Also, as required by CP rules, you should have made a little furrow out of clay to keep your head positioned correctly.
