Sorry to be a spoil sport and get all serious, but as a dentist I feel you should know that snoring occurs when the tongue and soft palate collapse backwards temporarily as you sleep and then the air you breath in and out resonates over these tissues creating the snoring. It is a common misconception that nose strips stop snoring. There is no independent scientifically proven evidence to suggest they have any effect (although I'd be happy to hear from anyone who has a different experience as so far I've not found anyone for whom they've worked). In fact several studies have found they have no beneficial effects in reducing snoring severity. Also there is no need to close the mouth with chin up strips to stop snoring as it is actually stopped by opening up the airway at the back of the mouth.

If you snore it could be a symptom of a more serious condition called obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), which in basic terms means you stop breathing many times during the night, and can lead to sudden death on (thankfully) rare occasions. This serious condition really needs to be diagnosed.

Bottom line is that if you are seeking a solution to snoring you really need to see an expert to make a correct diagnosis. This might involve needing a sleep study at a specialist sleep centre. Unfortunately many people who suffer snoring visit their GP for a solution, whereas it would be more beneficial to visit a dentist who is suitably qualified to make such a diagnosis (please be aware many dentists might not be aware of the latest developments in this field) and potentially refer you to a sleep centre if you have OSA or provide you with a mandibular advancement splint if it is just snoring. There are many types but only a very small number actually work. Those that work can achieve up to 100% success in reducing snoring or stopping it completely by comfortably pushing the lower jaw forward during sleep to open up the airway at the back whilst keeping your mouth open. They are not cheap but most partners of snorers consider them excellent value for money. A good dentist would also suggest that you should lose weight (if approriate), not drink alcohol or caffeine in the evenings, and try not to sleep on your back amongst other things.

Well MOH is overweight and drinks alcohol & caffeine (not always in the evening), so hopefully nothing too serious like you've described. We have noticed when he's been for a swim his snoring eases off.

Makes a change from me physically assaulting him every night and trying to snuff him out with a pillow.:eek:

I use the foam ones and I got 20,000 for something like £20 from Screwfix, but I cant see them on their website to send a link. Perhaps they are in the paper catalogue?
