Do you have tricks to stop someone from snoring?

Question

Aside from smothering with a pillow?

Answer 1

I jab him all night long, and then yell, "QUIT YOUR GOD DAMN snoring!!!!"

It usually works.

Answer 2

Snoring is a sign of a serious sleep disorder. People who snore are 4X's more likely to have a heart attack or stroke. I had a sleep study done and the doctor informed me I stopped breathing 426 times during the night. Added with snoring, my blood/oxygen level dropped to dangerously low levels...into the 70% range (it should be in the high 90's). A C-PAP machine added about 20 years to my life, and I sleep muuuuuuch better and no longer snore!

I know you're looking for a funny answer, so I must admit I laughed when the first guy said "wake him up"...he deserves the ten points.

Answer 3

Weight loss; Sleep study to diagnose sleep apnea, and I'm pretty sure there is a surgery where they go into your throat and clear out all the what ever- making it larger thus enabling you to take in more air. You may want to stop in and see an ear nose and throat doctor- my daughter's tonsils were so large she snored for the first year of her life- till we had them remove. Then, our family seems to have very very narrow nasal passages causing chronic sinus problems- and snoring. My father had his sinus's scraped - but it only made his snoring a tad bit lighter. He sleeps with a CPap machine. Then of course there is always the recliner. If you elevate the top half of your body while sleeping- that seems to help snoring. With all of that being said- if you have some weight to loose- you'll see a difference just by loosing 5 pounds. I lost a few pounds and seen an immediate difference ( my neighbors stopped pounding on the walls at night:)

Answer 4

In the Marines there was a no snoring rule...you could snore but if you did it was open season, we used to stick close pins on their noses (it was usually when a guy was passed out drunk)...it was the funniest thing, they'd lay there and almost suffocate but finally they'd start breathing out of their mouths...for more humane tips I'd suggest breath right strips, they are adhesive strips that pull your nostrils open...I use them when I run and I hear they work wonders for snorers.

Answer 5

Sleep in a different room.

My partner refuses to do anything about it... we have tried sprays and all the other little rip-off merchandise.

He won't get an operation.

He sounds like a chainsaw.

It is driving me insane.

We have slept in seperate rooms for 2 of the 3 years we have been together (may I add we're NOT an old married couple... I only turned 23 recently!!!)

I am considering leaving him.

Goodluck!

Answer 6

If the snorer is asleep on their back, say "Roll Over" and physically put your hand under them to nudge/assist in the roll over - you want them off their back. Gently pinch their nose shut - they'll quit snoring and then you can use the Roll Over method. Breathe Right Strips might help. When all else fails, buy earplugs for yourself and a small fan to put on your side of the bed for white noise. Good luck.

Answer 7

No tricks just tell them to go to doc's and see what they say. Maybe they need surgery like some people I know have had and it's much better now.

Answer 8

Oh i was going to say smothering with a pillow! I wish I did have a trick. My husband is awful with it, he has a c-pap machine to stop it but he won't wear the stupid thing, so I got earplugs for myself. lol

Answer 9

well i share a room with my sister and when she starts to snore i take a stuffed animal and whale it at her from across the room. works most of the time too. i have pretty good aim seeing as its always dark when i throw it.

Answer 10

i nudge my husband in the ribs , it stops snoring for a good two hours before he fires up again . or squeeze the nose that should work

Answer 11

Try turning them on the other side, if that isn't possible then shake them till they turn or get up.
