Hi,


OK hear goes.....I snore....loudly according to er indoors.


Not really a problem as I start off in bed and move to another bed if I do start. Think its a family trait as the same thing happened with my parents.


Anyway, we off on hols soon and her, me and the kids will all be in one room so no escape. Odd, it doesn't bother me :-)


Can anyone please recommend anything they take or nasal strips or anything like that they or their partner can recommend to douse my drone. real suggestions only please.


Cheers

  • Hi CR,

    My partner used to snore and it was like a freight train passing by! The rhythm used to drive me mad, waiting for the next reumble!

    Do you sleep on your back? Although it's supposedly best for circulation I find it can put pressure on your breathing making a bit laboured! Also drinking alcohol a few hours before going to bed can cause snoring.

    Product wise we tried chin up strips that keep your mouth closed and make you breathe through your nose (funnily this stopped her snoring). Brand wise I think the NHS have a version.

    Didn't try nose strips so can't really offer any help on that!

    Thanks

    As with a lot of women during pregnancy I've started snoring and hubby only gets a decent nights sleep because of it if I use the Breathe Right nasal strips. Even putting them on I feel an amazing difference, the only downside is they can be quite difficult and sore to remove sometimes and take a bit of soaking off. But them in Boots, Superdrug etc. there are another kind that you actually put into the mouth but I haven't tried them as the thought made me feel sick.

    The results of the snore tests indicate the cause of your snoring needs further investigation. We cannot recommend any products at this time as a potential solution to your snoring problem.

  • I tried the mouth thing but no good, The breathe right strips seem to get good reviews.

    Argh - helpful! DH had nasal drip and sprays every morning and night now. Pre this I had some super awesome ear plugs and he was in charge of the alarm :p

    Do you only snore when sleeping on your back? There is a cunning solution which involves fastening a tennis ball to the back of your pyjamas to remind you not to sleep on your back.

    My chap snores. Nasal strips tended to unstick mid-sleep so now on the dialators which are ok though slip out about seven hours later

    This is tricky if DH (currently snoring like a freight train as I type) sleeps au naturel.

    I've tried nasal strips, mouth guards, nose ring things, tablets, throat spray and I am now feeling out of options too :o

    Bf's only solution to put up with me so far is headphones and rain music

    Tbh I'm now really trying to lose weight as I don't think anything else will work but if you find something please let me know!
