What's the best way to stop someone from snoring?

Question

Roll him over?! He's 17 stone.

Answer 1

You can get a spray called snoreeze from the chemist. I have heard it is quite effective.
It opens the airway when you are sleeping to prevent snoring.

Answer 2

There are over-the counter remedies which include strips that hold the airways open overnight, these can help with a mild case of snoring.

Otherwise, a person can go to a medical sleep center where they will evaluate sleep patterns and discover the cause of the snoring and will prescribe medication or devices to prevent the snoring.

The plus side of all this - The person who is snoring isn't sleeping well, either, because they're not breathing well at night. So by stopping their snoring, you're also ensuring they have a better night's sleep.

Here's hoping you and the person referred to in this question will be sleeping more soundly soon! =)

Answer 3

There are only three stop snoring treatments that work for most snorers - do not be misled by anyone who tells you anything to the contrary:

Mandibular (jaw) advancement devices like our Sleep Pro 1 and Sleep Pro 2
CPAP (Continuous Positive Air Pressure mask and air pump, which can only be prescribed by a doctor) and
Surgery, which can be painful and has a lower success rate than mandibular advancement - although it is still more likely to work than treatments listed in the treatments that don’t work section.
It is worth noting that a change in lifestyle, particularly eating a balanced healthy diet, doing sufficient exercise, and so on, may lead to better control over snoring. If you are overweight, then losing weight may also help. However, if you want instantaneous relief from snoring then try mandibular advancement

Answer 4

You might want to consider asking this person to make an appointment at your local hospital's sleeping disorders center and have him/her tested for Sleep Apnea. Often, snoring is an indication of an underlying breathing/respiratory problem (i.e, they snore because they may not be breathing properly). The doctor may recommend that the person wear a device over their nose at night to help them breathe regularly; thus eliminating the snoring problem

Answer 5

Wake that person up & tell her or him to hold there breathe until morning time, No, I am only joking & teasing, You can go to a drugstore & ask a Pharmists about something called Breathe right nasal patches, There is also many other brands out there, it open their breathing passage to allow them to sleep without snoring. I have a dog that sleeps with me, & she snores something awlfull, so do my wife, My wife tells me that I snore, I tell her that I haven't heard myself snore one time, Of course I am asleep. Good Luck From the SNORING TRIO.

Answer 6

My hubby was snoring like so loud that I could hear him from downstairs ! We had the ENT(ear nose and throat) Doc look and him and they repaired the deviated septum(which a huge part os the snoring problem). He is also a pretty big guy and I have read the heavier people tend to snore due to the xtra weight resting on their chest.
Hope you get some sleep ! ! !

Answer 7

Get a banans skin and scrape out the inside so that you have a small pile peelings. Put them in a bowl and add about two tablespoons of sugar. Give it a stir and and then add one tablespoonful of euclyptus solution. Fry for about 3 minutes over a hot flame and then let it cool. The smell is sweetly pleasant and will clear the sinuses for hours at a time if inhaled whilst in bed.

Problem solved.

Answer 8

I saw something on GMTV i think this morning, a braclet that the user wears and i think it gives them a shock of some sort when they start snoring and then move/turn etc and it stops.....not sure how it works, but good luck in finding a solution.

Answer 9

a snore is a sign of an upper airway or nasal obstruction, so you need to find out the sight of obstruction. is the snore coming completely from a nasal obstruction, or is it an upper airway obstruction. have an overnight oximetry done to find out if your oxygen saturations are dropping. if there is a sawtoothing pattern in your oxygen sats, further investigation should be done, like a formal sleep study. investigate sleep disorders at the american academy of sleep medicine, or the association of polysomnographic technologists website.
