    Get him on a sleepstudy - it isn't funny being with a snorer and it's bad for his health!

    Hello Katykat

    Have you been watching the series 'Sleep Clinic' on BBC1? The edition shown last night is repeated on Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC2..........if you missed it.;)

    The patients have a range of sleep disorders. They are referred by their GP to the sleep clinic at Papworth Hospital. Severe snorers benefit from wearing a mask in bed which forces air into their nose and prevents them from snoring and also stops sleep apnoea.

    The boyfriend should really see his GP.

    Regards

    Nile
    MY OH has that mask - he snored very loudly for 24 years.

    Thanks everyone, will pass the info on to my son. I tried the tennis ball on the back of his PJ's when he was a nipper, didn't work, he just took the jacket off. I'm just thankful he doesn't live with me anymore.

    I sympathise. My OH snores quite a bit and most of the time I don't notice it but when I do I start with a light kick, then a harder kick, then a slap, then a punch, and ending up with a sharp elbow to whatever part of his body is closest (he doesn't only snore on his back but also side, stomach etc etc). If it doesnt stop I usually finish with "will you shut the f**k up snoring" and that wakes him long enough for me to get back to sleep!

    Seriously though, if it is a persistent problem I would advise him to see his GP to see what the solutions are.

    My man snores very loudly and I use ear plugs - a useful temporary solution while he gets a GP referral to the sleep clinic... it always amazes me that the snorer doesn't keep themselves awake with their snoring.

    This is so not a funny subject but you just made me chuckle...nice to know I'm not alone in just shouting at the OH to quit the racket! :rotfl:

    He does use snoreeze which does help (have to buy it 3 for 2 in boots as it's quite pricey) but if he's been down the pub then it has little effect.
