Snoring

6feet

My DH and I sleep separately for this reason (thank god we have a spare room). Holidays in the same room is torture!


We have just celebrated out 13th wedding Anniversary...if we didn't have a spare room I don't think we would have, I NEED MY SLEEP!


He has just had some jaw plates made at the dentist last week. I hear they are uncomfortable at first so he probably will throw them in the drawer and have wasted £600!!!!!!!!


We shall see...i'll let you know.....

I tried this product recently which has really helped me, some nights I haven't snored at all and others I have only snored a little bit which is really good compared to what I am usually like. My partner says that I breathe heavily but with no noise.

The product is worth a try if your snoring is to do with your throat rather than your nose (I did an online test to see which type I am).

I used to snore when I was a stone or so heavier. The snoring disappeared with the weight loss.

Tried but

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.

In other words, go see your GP.

As another poster has mentioned, sometimes sleep apnea can cause incredibly loud snoring - and that has some nasty health implications. There are treatments though, so it's worth checking out.

I lost 3 stone a couple of years ago ( put back on now ) and didn't really make any difference. My DS snores a bit and so does my dad, think its cause we don't have very good jawlines.


Im trying this out first. http://www.slumberslumber.com/sleepguard-anti-snoring-mouth-guard/p701 seems to have good reviews on amazon. 60 day or moneyback.

OK it arrived yesterday.


To be fair its quite comfortable. I wore it last night as they say let yourself get used to it for a couple of nights ( up to 7 ) and slept in another room. Its a bit weird to get used to but not bad and I can see how it works.


Will try the big test tonight and sleep in with her indoors.


If anyones interested I'll post back tomorrow.

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

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 DH is a snorer.


I'd agree that getting him on his side helps rather than lying on his back.


I used to kick/poke/prod him but now I've tried smoothing/stroking him gently and that seems to work better. It seems to relax him and then he naturally rolls over and sleeps quietly.


Has to be worth a try.:)

Update -

Using this for the 2nd night and in with my misses she reckons that my snoring has gone down from a full 10 to 4/5 now. Says its more like heavy breathing. Might try some nasal strips or see how the 'breathing' improves as they say upto 7-10 nights to adjust.

Does leave your lips quite dry at times though.

Ironically I did wake in the night to watch her snoring quite loudly ( she doesnt do that very often, but I may just be asleep during ). I nearly went downstairs just to get away from her snoring lol.

May sound strange, but this really works:-
Buy micropore tape from the chemist - the soft touch tape used for attaching dressings to wounds, etc.
Use a strip of tape about 2" long, and stick over the closed mouth vertically, from just below the nose, down across the closed lips to under the bottom lip.
This keeps the mouth closed, but is gentle on the skin, and in a breathing 'emergency', you can open your mouth easily.
Honestly, it works.

Going to try this...... i've tried nasal sprays, breathe right strips, olbas oil on the pillow, an air diffuser, a wedge in the bed so I can't roll onto my back ...... none of these worked. I know I snore badly because I sometimes even wake myself up
