My husband snores a lot and I end up having lack of sleep. Any home remedy?

Answer 1

I feel you! Oh my goodness, my husband's snoring is horrible. I try my best to go to sleep first, but I suffer from insomnia.
When my husband lost 100 pounds, the snoring was much quieter. He had also been diagnosed with sleep apnea.
I suggest taking him to the doctor, and try a new diet if your hubby is overweight.
Good luck Hon.
P.S. They snore less if they are not on their back.

Answer 2

I bought at a Life Fest in Toronto 2 years ago a little jar with aromatic gel smelling of Y-lang Y-lang. And it works like a charm. I have it standing on his night stand and he hardly ever snored since then. I know he still can snore when he's falling asleep in his lazy boy. I am going again on April 1 and hopefully the company who's selling it is there again, I will buy another one. I tried to find the company on the label but it isn't there, otherwise I would have told you.

I used to snore a lot. THEN!!!! hubby brought home BREATHE RIGHT STRIPS and they really helped...BUT a few months down the road I changed my way of eating and started exercising. I have lost more than 50 lbs! And I no longer have to use the strips because I don't snore anymore!

Answer 5

try those nose strips and a couple of benedryls. no more snoring. just make sure he takes the benedryl an hour of so before he goes to bed and set the clock a little earlier so he can wake up really good before he gets behind the wheel of his car. sometimes it makes people a little loopy in the morning. do this and your nights will be a lot better.....how do i know? because i used to snore. oh, and tell him to sleep on his sides and not his back.

Snoring - Home Treatment

Snoring generally is first treated at home. Treatment includes:

* Losing weight. Many people who snore are overweight. Weight loss can help reduce the narrowing of the airway and possibly reduce or eliminate snoring.
* Limiting the use of alcohol and medications. Drinking excessive amounts of alcohol or taking certain medications, especially sleeping pills or tranquilizers, before sleep may worsen snoring.
* Going to bed at the same time each night and getting plenty of sleep. Snoring may be more frequent when you have not had enough sleep.
* Sleeping on your side. Sleeping on your side may eliminate snoring. Try sewing a pocket in the middle of the back of your pajama top, putting a tennis ball into the pocket, and stitching it closed. This will help keep you from sleeping on your back.
* Promptly treating breathing problems. Breathing problems caused by colds or allergies can disturb airflow, leading to snoring.
* Using nasal strips. Nasal strips, such as Breathe Right, widen the nostrils and improve airflow.

Snoring - Topic Overview

This topic discusses simple snoring. If you stop breathing, choke, or gasp during sleep, you may have a potentially serious condition called sleep apnea. For more information, see the topic Sleep Apnea.
What is snoring?

Snoring occurs when the flow of air from the mouth or nose to the lungs is disturbed during sleep, usually by a blockage or narrowing in the nose, mouth, or throat (airway). This causes the tissues of the airway to vibrate and knock against the back of the throat, resulting in a noise that can be soft, loud, raspy, harsh, hoarse, or fluttering.

You may not know that you snore. Your bed partner may notice the snoring and that you sleep with your mouth open. If snoring interferes with your or your bed partner's sleep, either or both of you may feel tired during the day.

In the past, snoring was often considered no more than a nuisance that kept a bed partner awake at night. However, snoring may progress to upper respiratory resistance syndrome and obstructive sleep apnea, a potentially serious sleep disorder in which you periodically stop breathing during sleep. Because of this, it is important to see your health professional if you routinely snore.

Snoring is common. About 25% to 50% of men and about 25% to 30% of women snore on a regular basis.1
What causes snoring?

You snore when the flow of air from your mouth or nose to your lungs makes the tissues of the airway vibrate. This usually is caused by a blockage (obstruction) or narrowing in the nose, mouth, or throat (airway).

When you inhale during sleep, air enters the mouth or nose and passes across the soft palate (the back of the roof of the mouth) on its way to the lungs. The back of the mouth-where the tongue and upper throat meet the soft palate and uvula-is collapsible. If this area collapses enough, the airway becomes narrow or blocked. The narrowed or blocked passage disturbs the airflow, which causes the soft palate and uvula to vibrate and knock against the back of the throat, causing snoring. The tonsils and adenoids may also vibrate. The narrower the airway is, the more the tissue vibrates, and the louder the snoring is.

See illustrations of the tonsils, adenoids, and uvula and the soft palate.
How is it treated?

You may be able to treat snoring through lifestyle modifications such as losing weight (if necessary), quitting smoking, changing sleep habits (such as sleeping on your side instead of your back), and avoiding the use of alcohol and sedatives before bed. If nasal congestion is disturbing airflow, nasal dilators (such as nasal strips), decongestants, or nasal corticosteroid sprays may be used. Oral breathing devices, which push the tongue and jaw forward to improve airflow, may also be an option. If these treatments do not work, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or surgery may be tried.

Snoring is not always considered a medical problem, so insurance may not cover treatment.

Answer 8

One thing a relative did was to sew a tennis ball in the back of the shirt of her husband's pj's. When he would roll over on his back the tennis ball would make him roll back over again. Most men snore more when on their backs. This worked like a charm.

Answer 9

I also have the similar problem. My wife snores. I got used to it now. I suddenly get up when she does not snore now. Take him to an ENT surgeon and get thorough check up done.
