Does anyone know a cure for snoring?!! Or something which can help reduce it at all?PLEASE!!!?

Question

My new man snores like a buffalo. Joking aside he breathes loudly and huffs and puffs all night whilst continually snoring extremely loud!!! I can't get a wink of sleep!! I know this is a common problem with no such cure but I don't want to offend him but I can't sleep at all when he stays!! even when he lies on his side he snores and makes loud exaggerated breathing noises which are so loud they keep me awake!! He keeps telling me to prod him if he snores but its all the time so that just doesn't work! He wakes up for like 5 seconds and stops then it starts all over again!!! Does anyone know of anything that relieves snoring a bit? Apart from smothering him with a pillow!!!!!!!! Just kidding! Any help would be appreciated as I can see im gonna have to try and make excuses for him not to stay over if I want any sleep at all!!! Please help!

Answer 1

Well, I just don't know how this might help. But I got these tips for preventing snoring:

- Eat a light dinner at least three hours before you turn in.
-Avoid alcohol for at least four hours before bedtime.
-Go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day.
-Raise the head of your bed 8 to 10 centimenters (3 or 4 inches).
-If you're overweight of a smoker, go on a fitness regimen to firm up, lose wieght, and stop smoking.
-Try specially designed adhesive strips that lift the nostrils to allow more air to pass through the breathing pathway.
-Avoid other antisnoring devices. They usually work only be keeping you awake.

Hope this was of great help :-P

Answer 2

He may suffer from sleep aponea. This is a condition where the throat closes slightly when he's asleep. The main symptoms are snoring and drowsiness during the day.
It's treatable.

Whatever the cause don't rely on folk-remedies. Take him to see his GP very soon. Some causes of very heavy snoring are potentially dangerous and yet easily sorted. It's best to be reassured.

If he won't believe you or go willingly then record the snoring and convince him that way.

Answer 3

Snoring cures almost all revolve around clearing the blockage in the breathing passage. This is the reason snorers are advised to lose weight (to stop fat from pressing on the throat), to stop smoking (smoking weakens and clogs the throat), and to sleep on their side (to prevent the tongue from blocking the throat).

Surgery is one option to cure snoring (for example a uvulopalatopharyngoplasty, or uvulopalatoplasty); dental appliances such as a mandibular advancement splint are another. There are many devices such as nose clips to dilate the nostrils and jaw mechanics to keep the jaw in an optimum position. A pinky ring is purported to reduce snoring through accupressure.[4] Different aids work for different people. According to the British Medical Journal, playing the didgeridoo can also help as it increases muscle usage in the throat.[5]

Blimey...That's a lot of things to put a new boyfriend on/in!! he he.
Well, I've an old one up stairs and i can hear him from here!! He is neither overweight nor a drinker but man can he snort and grunt!!
Ive tried all the poking and gentle kicks here and there, until the point of breakdown!! Since having a child i have an excuse of sleeping in the baby's room. Cop- out i know! but at least i get SOME sleep.
Ive just looked through my newspapers and there is a new discovery in there which i thought might help. Snorers given drugs called 'proton Pump Inhibitors' which are widely used for heartburn-slept SILENTLY!! ...so maybe if he has a little heartburn...dose him up with those. Good luck gall!! x

Answer 6

Try those special plasters that fit across the nose. These open the nasal passage and helps the breathing. If he snores when on his back then get an old tennis ball, thread some string though it and tie it to him with the ball at his back. As he turns and lies on it, it will dig in and he will move from his back. If he is overweight this can cause snoring so keep him slim. Best of luck.

Answer 7

I snore and one thing that helps me is to use a Nasal Spray just before bed. It seems to open up my nasal passages and it helps..or so my husband says. Those nose strips might be good to try too but I can vouch for then as I haven't tried them. Good luck and don't make excuses...just tell him the truth. It would probably be better for him to go to the doctor and see about it because he cant be getting any restful sleep either.

Answer 8

Lol, unfortunately I snore really loudly too, my hubby wiggles about on the bed to wake me up a bit so I stop, or he rolls me over. I think you can get this device that fits on ur nose but I'm not sure I wanna wear that. I think the best advice I can give you is to buy some ear plugs! Sorry!
