Girlfalldown 0 #1 October 21, 2005 How do you stop someone from snoring? By someone I mean me. I used to be such a quiet sleeper. Now though, I'm chasing my man to the couch with my horrid snoring. I don't know if it has something to do with my spine surgery and them going through the front and moving all the stuff in my neck around to get to my spine or what but if I have the slightest bit of allergies or more than a glass or two of wine I'm snoring like a bear. I've tried those nose strip things and we thought they worked but it's happened the last two nights in a row and I'm feeling really guilty about it. What else can I do? You guys know everything.

flyinghonu 0 #7 October 21, 2005 My hubs snores. The best trick - let the non-snoree fall asleep first. But often that doesn't work. The things I have tried: (1) All the snoring crap on the market - none of it works. (2) Lots of pillows - doesn't work. (3) Rolling him over - works sometimes. (4) Vicks vapor rube under the nostrils - worked until he started rubbing it all over his face and it got in his eyes (5) Pillow over the face - works but well..... (6) Me or him to the couch - can STILL hear him!! Short of doing what the military does for ground soliders (or so I have heard) and lasering his septum.......well, good luck "Excuse me while I kiss the sky..." - Jimi Hendrix Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is problematic for two reasons: (1) can't hear alarm clock go off until hubby is whacking me over me head to turn it off - not a good way to wake up ; and (2) after a few nights with ear plugs in, those fuckers begin to really hurt and feel like they are squishing into my brain "Excuse me while I kiss the sky..." - Jimi Hendrix Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do snore more on my back but last night I was even on my side snoring.sorry for your back... To prevent from sleeping on the back I have a tshirt onto which I have sown a pocket. Inside the pocket is a tennis ball. Unless you sleep in crappy beds like the old Empuriabrava bunkhouse beds, you can't sleep on the back... In addition to that I use the nose strips thing, and try to eat something light in the evening and not drink too much If I forget to use the combination of all that, my snoring is rated 7 on the Richter scale Oh yeah, and get video of when you sleep to see if you do apnea.scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedRacer 1 #13 October 21, 2005 The thing I could never understand is : Why don't snorers wake themselves up????? I mean, your mouth is just a few inches from your own ear, so WTF? Anyone ever stay in hostels? usually theres that one guy in the room who is snoring so effing loud. If you ever stay at a hostel buy some earplugs first.

airtwardo 7 #18 October 21, 2005 We both sleep with earplugs already. *** Try a NOSE plug! Snoring usually happens when breathing through both nose & mouth...block the nasal passage and it will be drastically reduced... I had a roommate years ago that would shake the shingles with his snoring, until he got one of those mouth-guard things to stop teeth grinding...it somehow made him sleep with his mouth closed and the snoring ceased entirely. ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Channman 2 #21 October 21, 2005 Hopefully you are not suffering from sleep apnea. Do you feel rested when you wake up? Do you find yourself tired all the time and nodding off while driving? I was a snorer until I lost 40 lbs. taking up this sport. My snoring was so bad sometimes, it kept my wife awake as well. Based on your photo, weight is not an issue, therefore I would check with a ears and throat doc. to see if there is some underlying problem. I've had friends who have had operations to correct their problems but not all have been successful, not to mention the recovery issues and pain. Place a small fan in the room that makes some noise, this has worked for several of my friends, keeping their wives in bed all night long. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He doesn't want to wake me up because he knows how hard it is for me to sleep and how uncomfortable I am. He'll try to roll me over gently or tap me and tell me I'm snoring and sometimes that works but if it doesn't he goes to the couch. Then I wake up in the middle of the night without him and get sad because I know why he's down there. I just want to be able to cuddle up with my baby and wake up with him all wrapped around me dammit! -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.)

I've woken myself up from snoring. I hate it because I've even done it in front of friends, and they sit there and laugh at me. They know that (a) I most likely will be the first to doze off watching a movie (b) I'll start snoring (c) I'll wake up embarrased and angry.

Sometimes snoring is associated with sleep apnea Basically, your snoring closes off your windpipe and you can breath, then you wake up, not knowing WTH is going on. Other symptoms are chronic lack of energy, complaints of not sleeping well, chronic snoring, etc... My old boss had that and it was regulated with some kind of mask (not very attractive), but his wife said it made all the difference and she AND he were sleeping much better. thats all I know, maybe ya'll should check it out?
