Snoring, how to live with it!

Right...
My man is the biggest snorer ever!

He has done all the usual things, nose strips, pegs, pillow over his head!

Has been to the quacks, told to loose weight, and he has big time!
Still snores for Britain!

As I need to actually function in my normal day I need my sleep, but not getting much apart from when we sleep in seperate rooms.
Not ideal of course, anyone know what I can do to get a good nights sleep??

Tell him to hold in his breath for 10mins.Problem solved.

Have you tried ear plugs, Lucy? - Mrs Gaz & I can each snore for Britain & we both find a couple of chunks of wax up the lughole help a lot, when necessary

Make him work night shifts!

Works for us!

Alternatively get him to a sleep clinic where they can diagnose the cause & then hopefully solve the problem.

Ear plugs, your insurance of a good nights sleep...Failing that, make him sleep in the spare bedroom.

My ex used to hold my mouth and nose shut because she accused me of snoring.

Horrible thing to do. Unfortunately she tried to do it when I was wide wake and NOT making a noise when she thought I was asleep, she got launched across the room for her effort. Didn't do it again.

To this day I don't know why she'd do it.

Holding the pillow over his head won't help. you need to put it over his face and hold it there. he'll eventually go dead quiet

What about sleeping at opposite ends of the bed?

Another ex did this ALL night ... Her teeth were flat at 23.

Horrible sound.

Jimmy-J · 06-05-2009, 02:39

My other half does all of the above whilst at the same time farting. Hence the reason I'm online until the early hours.

I do or did that

They tried to give me a gum-shield when I was 15 but i couldn't stand sleeping with it in. I don't think i do it so much now as I used to wake up with an aching jaw - maybe its stress related

Have you tried these: http://www.breatheright.co.uk/

Not sure if they help though, ive never used them. Im a talker, not a snorer.

Nasal strips, sprays, 'anti-snoring' pillows, they're all gimmicks that don't work.

Take it from me - I snore loud enough to set off car alarms.

I'm currently undergoing medical treatment for it so I have an idea of the situation.

First of all, when hubby sleeps (and snores) are there any times when it appears as if he stops breathing?
