Does any one know a cure for snoring other than divorce.?

Answer 1

Yeah I usually just get a prod in the ribs and told to roll over.

I've seen loads of devices, sprays, laser treatments etc that claim to stop snoring but they all seem about as genuine as snake oil.

From what I've heard the ways to reduce snoring are

1) Stop drinking alcohol, alcohol relaxes the muscles and leads to more snoring

2) Lose weight - I'm not sure why but its a medically recommended way to reduce snoring

Answer 2

Hello,
I am actually getting a procedure to stop my snoring. The uvula (the dangly thing that hangs down from the roof of your mouth) can be surgically removed, preventing the blockage that causes snoring and the rumbly sound). Some insurances won't cover the cost, though, so ask a docotor first.
Also, as a quick fix, you can tell him to use the BreatheRight strips that are sold at any pharmacy or drug store (Osco, Walgreen's, Wal Mart)
another cause of snoring is obesity, if losing weight is possible it may help (as evidenced in my family!)
Also you may want to invest in a bag of earplugs, they only cost 2 bucks for a bag of several.
You may want to try if possible to get to sleep before he does, this will ensure you are gone to dreamland before the chainsaw starts.
Good Luck
:)

If Mr D is overweight and/or a late-night drinker, that will not be of help. If the snoring is very bad, a medical check-up is advisable.
If he gets the all clear, try sewing a golf ball in the back of his sleeping gear, so that he cannot sleep on his back.
There is a tape that can be clipped over the nose to supposedly keep the nostrils open, but not sure about keeping the throat open more.
Good luck.

This needs to be checked out by the doctor to rule out a medical cause. Once the doc has ruled out a medical cause of the snoring the doc will make suggestions on what to do for it. Seeing the doc though is very important as snoring is a common symptom of something more serious like sleep apnea or sinus problems.

Answer 5

I dont know of any cures for snoring, god knows I have tried them all. My partner snores badly. I bought a pair of earplugs for myself they seem to work well and drown the sound of him out enough so I can get some sleep. I hope this is helpful to you.

Answer 6

He needs to have a sleep study. May be suffering from sleep apnea. If so, a CPAP machine will take care of the sleep apnea and the snoring. My husband was an awful snorer and with the machine he never snored again.

Answer 7

Its worth checking out Lisa'a answer but there was a pillow you could buy that stopped scoring due the posture you slept in ay kept your airways free.

Not sure where you would buy one from - check out snoring on the internet or perhaps one of those shops that sell disability products.

Answer 8

Earplugs for the spouse and an anti-sugar, anti-gluten, anti-lactose, anti-yeast diet for the snorer. This will reduce the weight, help relieve possible allergies, and thus clear the nasal passages for quieter breathing.

One other trick that helps my snoring husband is a rag with a few drops of pure peppermint oil on it near his head. It smells good and helps keep his nasal passages open at night.

Answer 9

Steady Mrs D, sounds like sleep deprivation is making one a tad tetchy ?

There are sleep clinics that can help.

There are nose clips, or minor nasel ops that can cure it.
Boots have an over-the-counter clip if my member serves me well

My friend curing it by making him sleep on the sofa everynight for years.
