Answer 1

Jeez it drives me mad - he wakes me up constantly with his snoring. I give him a good dig in the ribs or pinch his nostrils together. I have tried all the so called remedies from the shelf please someone find a cure!!

Answer 2

Snoring is one of the major symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea. He needs to see a doctor and get a sleep test (polysomnogram) to see if he needs a CPAP machine to sleep with at night. A CPAP machine is a small quiet machine that sits by the side of the bed and emits air at a pressure (while he wears a mask) designed to keep his air ways open and his oxygen levels up. His snoring is actually a serious health concern and should be looked into right away. Sleep apnea is a major contributor to heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke and myriad other health related issues.

My ex snored really badly, even earplugs didn't work so I told him if he didn't do something about it I was moving into the spare room. Of course he denied he snored and was convinced I wouldn't sleep in another room. I did move into another room, he got the right hump and eventually did something about the snoring. Unfortunately for him I liked having a huge bed all to myself and stayed there.(only to sleep of course)

There is a mouth shield you can get fitted at the dentist. What it does is it pushes the bottom jaw slightly forward opening your airway and it works, they still breathe heavy but no snoring,,it cost around £100, ask about it with your dentist.... They had a write up about it in the paper not long ago. It's worth it for a good nights sleep

Answer 5

The first thing you do is get them to the doctor to rule out a medical cause for snoring. Many times it is a medical problem that can be helped. Why are people so hestitant to go get snoring checked out at the docs office? Anyway if the doc rules out any medical cause for the snoring he will be able to tell the person how to treat it.

Answer 6

I hate that, its the most annoying thing in the world! I always try to get 2 sleep first, if this fails give ur partner sharp nudges 2 the stomach/groin area this should shut him up!!
If that fails hold his nose 4 a couple of seconds, the lack of air will cause him 2 wake up slightly and he will stop snoring..............................for a while that is! Hope this helps

Answer 7

My spouse snores terribly. I found that the cheap earplugs from Walmart/walgreens etc.. work alright. I wasn't able to get a good nites rest unless I fell asleep first. So went to the store and got the soft sponge like earplugs and now that helps to lessen to snoring noises some. Its not a cure all but it helps some.

Answer 8

There is nothing wrong with sleeping in different rooms. Sometimes is probably better than all the time, but it depend s on how much you value your marriage.

I've known of people who have nearly been driven to divorce because of lack of sleep due to snoring.

Answer 9

Men are more prone to snoring and are also more prone to sleep apnea- the illness associated with snoring. Usually snoring indicates a decrease in the size of the air passage due to bad head placement while sleeping. Alot of people cure the snoring immediately by adjusting the position of their head and sleeping with one pillow- not two or three. Another reason why people snore is being overweight. If someone stops breathing while sleeping or starts gasping for air- this is indicative of sleep apnea and the person should see a proffessional as soon as they can
