I shall relate an incident from a country from middle east. A man got married with a very beautiful young lady. She had the habit of snoring. The family of the girl hid this fact from the bridegroom's family. Few days after the marriage the husband filed a divorce suit on the basis of this snoring. The wife suggested to the judge a solution to arrive at a compromise. She suggested that she will sleep during the day when the husband is away at work and that she will not sleep or snore in the night. The judge, the husband, the families and advocates, all agreed to this solution. And then they lived happily thereafter. This story must be true because I read it as a news item in a prestigious newspaper. I forgot which newspaper. I had a paper clipping. That too I lost. That is another story. Another time.

He might have a deviated septum. They say 14% of people do; you're born with it and it's fixed with an operation. I had the operation and it's not so bad. (I didn't snore though, I had an infection and it was caused because of that)
Oh, a deviated septum, by the way, is when the bones in your nose are either too long and end up growing in an accordion pattern, or your nose was broken or something. It's the bones! They fix it by cutting the excess bones out and it does not alter your appearance.
*Edit: Surgery is probably $7,000 without insurance. If you have insurance I'd consider it. It lets you breathe!
**And also, if it IS a Deviated Septum, losing weight does not help. I weigh 100lbs and that doesn't fix that problem. My friend had a deviated septum too and she snored and she only weighs 120. She had to have the surgery as well. Snoring was fixed.

It is very important that your husband consult his physician and request that a sleep study be performed on him. He may not only be snoring, he may also have episodes of apnea, episodes where he stops breathing. Prolonged conditions of sleep apnea will result in severe damage to the heart, lack of quality sleep which will affect his activities of daily living, and may even cause an accident while driving or performing some activities.
If he is found to have the above condition, one of the recommended treatments is a CPAP machine which will help him breathe effectively while sleeping and this also stops the snoring. He'll find relief and so will you.

It depends on the reason he snores. He should be checked by a doctor for allergys, deviated septum, and other physical causes. If everything is okay then there are many ocd's to help with snoring like "breathe right strips", losing weight may help as well. If all else fails a par of ear plugs for you and a good shot in the ribs for him :) Good luck

Well if he has sleep apnea then he can get one of those machines where he doesn't snore, but then you have to listen to the machine making noise. I don't know if fallling asleep first will really help because then you'll just wake up by hearing the sound of him snoring. You can try those nasal strips, I don't know if they work or not. I know you probably don't want to, but you can also sleep somewhere else. I hope this helps. Bye. Good Luck.

He needs to go and have a sleep study performed and find out the true cause of his snoring. Although snoring is annoying...it's a sign of something much more serious. It could be sleep apnea when they actually stop breathing momentarily while sleeping.
It's worth the overnight stay in the hospital and they can prescribe him all types of devices to help with his snoring

My husband snores so loud. He wakes me up from it. I have found that the only ways to ensure myself a decent sleep is to push him off the bed so he wakes up and i have another 20 mins before the snoring starts again or finally, i give up and curl up on my couch, which is more comfortable than the bed, so its like a small bonus.lol. Good Luck. I know how you feel.

Probably 2 choices, first he may have sleep apnea, especially if he is tired during day and restless sleep.He may need a sleep study to see if he requires a Cpap machine to resolve snoring . (see your family MD) Secondly , a ENT MD maybe able to treat with mouth device or minor surgery , which reduces excess tissue in back of throat that causes snoring.

Try a pillow over his ... Alright ... Just kidding hold your thumbs down.
My wife actually snores quite a bit. She uses an over the counter spray, (sorry cant remember the name off the top of my head). Its works fairly well.
Also if you can get him to sleep on his stomach or at least his side it may help.
I know someone who actually got the laser therapy and it didn't work, so be careful with that.
Good luck !! I find going to sleep about a half before he help me. Falling asleep before her usually does the trick !
