Another Snoring Thread....

Options
I'm quite a light sleeper and my OH snores :mad:

Sometimes he won't snore at all, and other times it's a total nightmare! Last night I ended up shouting at him and sending him through to the spare room BUT I could still here him through the walls!

Admittidely (sp), it's not usually that bad, but it does wake me up and a couple of nights a week I end up going to the spare room. I use ear plugs but when he snores it still wakes me up.

We have tried the Snoreeze throat spray which seemed to work for a while but doesn't seem to make much difference now.

I was just wondering if anyone could reccomend any other remedies? I don't think his snoring is bad enough to warrant a trip to the docs, but it is loud enough to stop me sleeping!

Thanks

    How's his weight? Does he drink a lot/smoke?

    He doesn't have an ounce of fat on him, he's always been a non smoker and he drinks occasionally. Latter doesn't seem to effect if he snores or not tho - there doesn't seem to be any triggers.

    Sleep in the spare room permanently. Sorry, we haven't found any other remedies that work. Have previously tried nasal strips, sprays, diet (no alcohol, etc), constant prodding and so on. As you have a spare room, it's not the end of the world. ;)

    I feel for you OP my lodger moved in at the beginning of the month and for 6 days I just about had barely any sleep.
    I had woken up with bloodshot and black circles under my eyes,
    He snores so loud no matter where you go in the house you can hear him.
    One night it got so bad I actually stood over him with a pillow, thank god I have a garden house, and I sent him out there to sleep.
    He went on holiday on Friday for 6 months and when he get's back he can either move out or stay in the garden house.

  • It's a long shot, but have you tried the tennis ball sewn in the back of the pyjamas trick? I think it has something to do with not being able to roll onto your back (which apparently makes snoring worse).

    The only thing that has helped with DH's snoring, is a gum/jaw positioner. It is more or less a gum shield, like you would use for sports. It holds the jaws in a position that keeps the soft palate from going floppy. Migt be worth a shot? You can get cheaper versions on ebay to try out, and if it works, then worth speaking to a dentist to get one custom made.
