What is the best way to deal with someone who snores?

Question

I absolutely hate snoring!!!

I usually wake them up..and feign concern for them ..saying that I was worried that they were choking...

Then I can get to sleep :-p

Is this good manners ?

Answer 1

yup it's absolutely ok to wake them up cuz it's hazardous for them...it woould mean problems with their heart...and u can even ask them to lie on their sides..that would lessen the snoring... =)) hope this helps!

Answer 2

No, this is not good manners. If you really can't stand the snoring, move to another room. I think the best you can do though is to try to get used to it. I got used to sleeping in a room with snoring people and after a while it didn't bother me anymore. At some point you'll probably have a snoring partner sleeping right next to you so you might as well try to get used to that idea and not let it irritate you instead of running away from the problem by waking people up (which I btw think is rude) or avoiding them.

Oh, and it's not unlikely that one day you'll start snoring yourself. How would you like it if people kept waking you up while you're asleep because you don't like the sound of you snoring?

Answer 3

Boy, my wife could tell you some things about my snoring. A sleep study isn't a bad idea, but it isn't the first step.

There is a product on the market called Breathe Right, and they are a little plastic set of strips with sticky adhesive that you place over the bridge of your nose and attaches to the nostrils. They come in sm/med and large sizes and cost between 4-10 dollars here in the US.

I saw a doctor, who said my nasal passage behind the uvula (bag at the back of the throat) was larger than normal. He suggested as a last resort, surgery -kind of like a face lift procedure. Only problem would be that it wouldn't be a permanent solution. within a year, I'd be right back where I started.

He gave me nuisance spray and that just cost be $25.00 bucks a month and didn't do much.

Recently I started snoring loudly and it's driven my wife nuts. So I went back to the strips and they are helping alot.

Down the road I may do a sleep study - my brother-in-law and mother-in-law both use a c-pack machine at night to help them breath. So anything is possible.

TRY THE STRIPS FIRST and see if that helps.

By the way - it isn't rude to wake the other person up if they are snoring - it is rude to kick them out of bed, though. Gently put your foot on their leg and rub - it'll usually wake them up and you can ask them to roll over.

Answer 4

My husband snores and I could not sleep when he do so. What I always did is to turn his pillow and make it a little bit lower. I turn him sideways so he will stop snoring. After few minnutes the snoring will stop. That's my turn to sleep now, If he snores again I will never know because I'm already sleeping. Manners doesn't matter? Maybe, not sure.

Answer 5

Sometimes we as women just don't know what we want. Please go and give your husband a hug and kiss him. Every man generally has a "man cave". Its a part of the home, whether is the garage, outside on the porch, or even a small secluded place in the back yard with a shed. Men need to gather themselves from thime to time. Its the DNA of what makes them who and what they are... Men are territorial as in the wild too. I digress. He feels isolated, disconnected, and not a part of the family. Often more than none, men are really very sensitive beings, but they understand if any weakness is displayed, we can/will eat them alive. (As in the wild too). I understand your plight, as my husband has a man cave and over a period of months when I noticed a disconnection we spoke about the "Man Cave" and he said the time alone allowed him to a bit of solace to watch the games and just chill in his element. There were no rules in his man cave, and he knew that was a place whereby he would not be distracted by: The vacuum, move your feet, don't sit there, I need the space, and those types of things that we don't see as a issue. While I cannot apologize for my candor, I must say that the last paragraph you wrote in your story speaks volumes: "I feel like he is more of a room mate than a husband. He even sleeps in there, but that is kinda my fault because I kicked him out of bed since he snores like a bear and wakes me up constantly, being pregnant that is hard to deal with. And he is a very large person so he takes up most of the space in our bed so I can't get comfy". THAT PARAGRAPH WAS NOT VERY KIND". Marriage is difficult enough, but when you add the ingredients of disdain, it reaps havoc on the precious ones too. Try to work with him by spending time with him in the man cave. GO SLOWLY. He is large and the majority of the issue of the snoring is possibly the root cause for other concerns. Please find a medium, I mean that is one of the elements of marriage. (COMPROMISE), but not to make him feel so disconnected. TRUST ME: Some one is out there waiting to take him out of the man cave and all she may see that he needs is a RECONNECTION! I believe you will do fine. Peace-Beloved

Answer 6

When my boyfriend used to snore, I would just shake him a little and he'd stop. I think that works for everybody (and it's not bad manners;). If it's really bad snoring maybe he needs to have an operation.

Answer 7

The best way to deal with them is to gently push them so that they will sleep on their sides. Snoring happens when they are sleeping on their backs and their pillows are too high or too low.

Then you can sleep tight.


All the best.

Answer 8

i don't know if it's good manners or not. it would depend on how well you know that person. like when i'm at home and my parents are snoring, i will wake them up. but like with roommates the best thing to do is get earplugs or a radio or something to drown out the noise.

Answer 9

Go snoring in next room with a double insulated sound proofing door.

Answer 10

This is not good.

It was not known by them while they sleep.

Dont hate them. Even you ll snore if you are so tired ok.

If you feel it's disturbing for u then you keep cotton in your ears and sleep.

Answer 11

i think the way you handled it was fair. my wife used to literally beat me up when i snored. all of her frustration would come out when she'd shake me violently, or poke me or grab my shirt and yank it. of course, the person who does the snoring doesn't want to disturb you. it turns out that i had a sleeping disorder. similar to sleep apnea. i had to have sleeping tests done and now use a breathing machine when i sleep.
