Snoring?????

Question

Does anyone know any natural cost effective ways to stop or lessen someone's snoring. It is coming between me and my partner and I need it to stop, but I don't have a lot of money for the strips and such. Can anyone help?

Answer 1

Sleep Apnea and snoring seem
to go hand-in-hand. If you could watch him some night...
Does he ever just stop breathing for a few seconds, then suck air in? If so, he
has sleep apnea. Most health insurance will cover a sleep test in the hospital (to
make a proper diagnosis)
Some sinus problems cause
snoring and ditto for post-nasal drip and tonsil or
adenoid problems.
First, get him to sleep on
his side and see if that helps.
Or tie a ball to his undershirt
and pin it in the middle of
his back. So he screams,
so what? The nose strips
really don't cost a lot. I think
he would rather wear them than lose you???

Answer 2

Very loud snoring can be a sign of health problems, see your doctor. If all checks out, then earplugs for the non snorer or sleeping in another room.

My husband snores a lot due to allergies and I either wear earplugs or go sleep in the guest room. The strips made no difference.

Answer 3

If your partner can lose weight that might help. Excess weight pushes down on the trachea while sleeping causing snoring however, a serious condition known as sleep apnea is possible. The best way to find out is a sleep study. They may need a CPAP machine.

Answer 4

Snoring can be caused by sleep apnia. My partner had it and she had a breathing machine she uses at night. The strips and over the counter things didn't work for her. The ear plugs didn't work for me.

Answer 5

i used earplugs and would sleep with my head at the opposite side of the bed, i would end up that way in the middle of the night. i know it's aggrivating, i will wake up with a headache a lot.
