my fiancee is going to kill me about my snoring.

i'm already wearing breathe right nose strips and those work some of the time.

i've told her to poke or nudge me if i am snoring and she usually does, but just looking to see if anyone has anything that really works.

    Maybe the combination of breathe-right strips for you and earplugs for her?

    Maybe you have sleep apnea like me.......get ready for the mask of death!

    i don't think so. a majority of the time it is not a problem, but every now and then i'll get yelled at in the morning how my snoring kept her up until 2am or whatever.

    j/k

    make an appt to see an ear/nose/throat dr to see if you have sleep apnea.

    Me too. I sleep much better now, been on the mask for 9 years. It took about 6 months to get use to wearing that mask though.

    As my grandpa had to say to my grandma "Roll over, Mary!" No surgery, nothing invasive, just move and wiggle a little to let the air in differently.

    maybe a tonsillectomy? I do seem to recall reading somewhere that there is a link between sleep apnea and the tonsills...

    although I wouldn't have that done unless I absolutely needed to....no need for unnecessary surgery if you can help it

    yeah the link is that if you have oversized tonsils they block your airways. I had them and my adnoids out when I was a kid because they were humungous. I'll probably never snore as a result.

    Sleep on your side or stomach.

    sleep apnea seems to often be the cause of snoring.

    tonsillectomy/adnenoidectomy doesn't always make a difference;

    sometimes losing weight can make a big difference.

    also, if you drink or take sleeping meds, snoring will be worse due to relaxation of the muscles.

    i usually start off on my side all curled up (with a dog and a cat fused to me) and then eventually i think i end up on my back.

    If you can afford it, get a sleep number bed. It cured 4 people that I personally know of. Plus, it's just a wonderful bed and helps with sleep in general. Also, if you're overweight, losing some can help. Checking with your doctor is also a good idea. Good luck. :)
