How do u deal with someone who snores?

Question

please give me some ideas/tips,thanks.

Answer 1

STEP 1: Don't drink alcohol before going to bed. It can increase muscle relaxation, which may make snoring more likely.

STEP 2: Avoid muscle relaxants and sleeping pills.

STEP 3: Sew or tape a tennis ball to the back of your pajamas or T-shirt. Snorers are more likely to snore when lying on their backs. The ball will make this position uncomfortable and force you to roll over onto your side.

STEP 4: To prevent snoring while lying on your back, elevate your upper body 30 degrees using a foam wedge.

STEP 5: Talk to your doctor about taking an antihistamine if your snoring is caused by a cold or allergy.

STEP 6: Give up smoking. Experts believe cigarette smoking disturbs sleep and increases the likelihood of snoring.

STEP 7: Lose weight; this helps reduce the size of the palate.

STEP 8: Offer your partner earplugs if your snoring keeps him or her awake.

STEP 9: See a dentist for information about an anti-snoring dental device, which prevents the lower jaw from falling back while you're sleeping.

STEP 10: Talk to an ear, nose and throat specialist for possible surgery or treatment. There are a variety of techniques that can help reduce snoring.

When he snores have you noticed if he sometimes stops breathing for a few seconds? I went through the same thing for years with my wife. I worked nights for 13 years, then when I got my current assignment (I am in the Air Force) my job is during the day. Needless to say she was not getting much sleep due to my snoring. I went to the doctor, a Neurologist, and after some checking he scheduled me for a sleep study. During this they hook you up with numerous probes to measure your oxygen intake and everything else you can think of. After going through the study I got to see my chart that next morning. It was not too good. They showed me where I stopped breathing every 2-3 minutes for anywhere from 15-20 seconds and my oxygen saturation dropped into the low 70's. A few days later I was on the phone with a local company called Lincare who provides oxygen and other products. I have currently been using a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine for around a year and my wife says I don't snore anymore. From what they told me these machines are 100% effective once you get used to wearing the mask/headgear. I would have him see a doctor and see if they can get him in for a sleep study. I was diagnosed with severe obstructive sleep apnea. The neurologist told me that working nights for so long seemed to make the condition worse over time. Good luck and happy sleeping.

Answer 3

Take them to the doctor. The snoring could be from sleep apnea. The doc will probably refer them to a sleep clinic. They will do tests to find out the exact reason for the snoring. There are several different treatments depending on the reason.

Answer 4

my advice; sleep in another room or make them sleep in another room. Otherwise, you'll look like walking death from the lack of sleep that this person's snoring is causing you.

My husband snores (sometimes) and I have discovered that when this happens, it's usually due to stress or he's congested.

Most times I either sleep on the couch or sleep at the opposite end of the bed. That's what works for me.

If your snorer does this even when they aren't sick or stressed then you might suggest that they see a specialist to find out what's causing it.

Good luck and happy sleeping

Answer 5

LOL I had this same problem, my mate justed to snort so loudly I couldn't sleep. Someone told me to keep a bottle of cologne by the bed and just spray the AIR lightly above the person and they would turn over. I sprayed TOO close.. Didn't last long.

But now they have the strips to put over your nose that opens up the adenoids. to help with snoring..

Answer 6

My dad used to snore so loud noone in the house could sleep. Try making him wear those nose strips, the work!

Answer 7

Well, it actually used to work. I slapped him every time he woke up and he'd be like huh??? then he'd stop... 10 minutes later he's snoring again. i suggest some good earplugs---- preferably the ones from the wal-mart clearance aisle. They work great! I haven't woken up in the last 20 days-- ever since i got them. Good luck with your problems.

Answer 8

It's not like he can help it. I mean I snore and I've tried everything and even had surgury and if did help a lot but I sill snore. Besides if that the only problem in hte relationship then you have nothing to worry about.

Answer 9

It's not only uncomfortable for you, it's dangerous for his health. There are special pillows available that make him breath properly, or there's a better but more expensive option, of an operation on the soft palate to totally prevent snoring.
