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?

    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.

    get a nose job! :D

    j/k

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

    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. :)

    besides smothering you with a pillow in your sleep? ;)


    my husband snores on occasion. i find the best remedy is him rolling over into a new position. sometimes all i have to say, quietly, is 'honey, roll over.' othertimes it's like he's arguementative in his sleep, and he'll ask why and i have to explain that he's snoring loudly, and even then, sometimes i have to push him to roll over. :p thankfully more often than not, he simply rolls over without complaint and the snoring ceases. otherwise we may not be married over 15 years now. :D


    so the 'poke and roll' option sounds the most realistic and secret to a happy marriage. :)

    you sound just like my husband! :p
    except only one dog in the bed, fused to his side. the other dog sleeps under the bed, and the kitty is smart enough to sleep in her own gargantuan bed in the LR away from us all, haha.
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    hehe....That sounds like me. Or rather, from what I have been told, that sounds like me. I bet my wife would say I argue more about stealing the covers though. :o

    apparently last night i was either asked to roll over or poked/prodded to roughly 8 times (i only remember once) and she was so annoyed at one point that she yelled "what the hell?!??" at me really loud...which i did not hear.

    i guess i am arguementative in my sleep too and will talk back sometimes telling her that i'm not snoring, eventhough i clearly am.

    I actually have a friend who is the worst snorer I have ever met. it is almost not human. Whenever we all go away together or stay at people's houses, whatever, it is like a race as to who is *not* going to share a room with her. It's impossible to get a good night's sleep when she's in the same room. I've made so many attempts to get her to stop over the years but it's pointless (throwing things at her, rolling her over, poking her, etc). It's not really a problem for usbecause we don't have sleep with her on a regular basis. But this girl has plenty of boyfriends and I can't understand what they do when they sleep with her all the time! they must go crazy! I just don't get how it works!

    My hubby is a snorer. I sleep with earplugs and a pillow over my head.

    This is funny, I snore too and my husband just a bit! He is always telling me that I snore loud and told me to roll on my side...lol

    Breathing strips work, but I use the ones with vapors...:)

    seriously, wtf is with that? :mad: :p

    how long are you married? in time, she'll learn...and you will also get *conditioned*....:D first, she'll just learn to push you into the proper position when you don't listen, and in time....you will learn to respond to very faint stimulus to get you to move, as in 'honey, roll over'....or a small push. most of the time, it works nowadays. only on occasion does he revert back to argumentative tactics while asleep and clearly snoring!
