Snoring

ilovesleep

There's a thread here in after hours about baldness so I thought I'd write one on snoring.

Any snorers here?
or people who share with a snorer.

I'm driving someone demented with snoring and don't intend on doing bad and feel so bad too.

I read about things for snoring that claims to stop snoring like a ring or a bracelet. How would something like that work? Anyone tried any remendy or cure?

I fear I'll be killed in my sleep or worse I won't be allowed any sleep being woken from a sleep to stop to fcuk snoring.

I heard holding your breath helps.

Tape your nose and mouth closed. I did it to my partner and it stopped her snoring.

She's dead now

I find putting a clothes peg on your nose then walking around your bed backwards 14 times before you get into it helps.

Because of my constant snoring my wife sometimes gets up and goes to sleep in our son's bed.

Which is a bit strange seeing that he's 28 and lives 4 miles away.

I snore and sometimes use those nasal strips. My boyfriend says I am quieter when I use them. I wish I didn't snore though, I am always so paranoid when sleeping in a room with people. My whole family snore (bar my mother), it's terrible!

It sounds like something my dog does circulating my bed a few times before she goes to sleep.

Are those the same nasal strips that you can get for blocked noses or are the snoring nasal strips different?

Could be sleep apnea. Get it checked out OP

does your beloved love sleep too? :P

Have you looked at posture? Snoring usually happens when you sleep on your back - can you be turned over on your side? Maybe you could try pillows that align your head and neck better.

Everything seems to be in after hours these days. Thread abt opening a bloody CCTV video file popped up here too.

The fact you don't have to watch every little thing you say with over modding on a lot of forums being a big factor

I like sleep on my side or front so that cant be it.

Edit: my beloved? Christ no, I share a room with my sister.

I tried them for preventing morning stuffy sinuses, and they made me snore so loud I'd wake the dead

Maybe I got the wrong ones.

sure that was a partner and not a blow up doll? flesh doesnt bind to sellotape very well.:D


OP,
a snorer here,though am fine with pissing people off,as theyre just as bad, but theyre the type who pretends they dont snore when they have never heard themselves.

have heard losing weight can help in some cases.
those plaster and magnetty things are all just cash in gimicks.
years ago they used to recommend sowing half tennis balls into the back end of pyjamas as it stopped people rolling on their back and then doing their nightly duck impression,though not all of us move at night.
mum is a very bad snorer and shes rocking and rolling so much theres practicaly static coming off her.

see the gp as they may feel a visit to the local sleep clinic is in order.

Good. We welcome wimins with open arms.

And when we can't get our jackets off, sometimes even with closed arms.:P

Lose some weight. And sew a golf ball into your pyjamas between your shoulder blades. If necessary buy pyjamas first.

Toto Wolfcastle

My husband snores. I wear ear plugs. I managed a whole week without using ear plugs once but that was short lived. When he lost weight at one stage he stopped snoring but he put on some weight and he started again. It's grand. I just keep a box of ear plugs nearby and I don't hear him.

efb

I snore, but I can't hear it so ha!

Ruudi_Mentari

safe to say I have never caught myself doing this.

if you are really unusually tired, and you'll know that you slept like a log then it's probably the case you also snored like a hog.

They don't help:( My husband can be a very loud snorer especially if he has a cold or has had a few beers. I can still hear him through the ear plugs and they can be very uncomfortable. I've read about some ear plugs that you plug into an mp3 player, they connect to a headband thing and block out noise.

I'm going to get a pair and see if they work. Mostly I can tolerate the snoring but I hate it when I get all cranky and start nudging him over on his side and muttering 'ffs'. It makes me feel like such a bitch.

not yet

I got it once on holidays, drove the wife mad so it it, When I got home I got a injection to stop it but got a bad reaction to it and came out in blisters. The wife said I would have to get it sorted. So I cut her ears off.............sorted.

Lollipops23

My ex snored when he'd a few drinks on him or had smoked a lot in the previous few hours.
I usually just "sleep-flailed" and "accidentally" kicked him. Stopped him snoring long enough for me to pass out, after which it didn't wake me.

Witchie

I sometimes snore so loudly I wake myself. :-( Have had tests done but no solution other than drugs to stop me sleep walking.

My fella snores too so its a battle to see who gets to sleep first.

Buy these for your partner. Relationship saver.

As for stopping snoring I've tried everything that's easy, nose strips, seawater spray, mouth guards, throat sprays, using ways to stop sleeping on my back etc. Nothing helps really.

The best ways to reduce snoring are also the most difficult, loose weight and avoid alcohol.

Well I'm a social drinker so alcohol definately isn't the problem.

Could do with losing weight so will get cracking on that.

You mentioned sea water spray - i think its some sort of a nasal spray. I suffer from sinus so at a guess it's probably contected.

The sea water spray helps to unblock and dry out your nose effectively. Using nose strips then increases the airflow through your nose so may reduce your snoring. However my problem is that my tongue tends to collapse into my throat while I sleep which causes vibration and hence snoring, so nose strips and spray don't help me greatly.

WexTex

Anyone know, are a 'small swallow' and the soft tissue collapsing the same thing? Can that outpatient surgery work for those who are told they need a CPAP?

--Kaiser--

Singing. Honestly it can help. Snoring is often caused by lax throat and soft palate tissue, singing can help tone them up and make for clearer airways

looking_around

my partner doesn't snore much, (thank god..) ..

Mostly only snores when lying on his back, I poke & prod him til he turns onto his side .... works a charm :P.

Have you talked to the doc about it? If it's impeding on the partners sleep, you might want to. In some cases it can be a fairly easy fix.
My Da had his nose straightened, paid through med card. His snoring quieted down ALOT.

The odd case can point to asthma or a heart condition, treating those also will treat the snoring.

If it helps, y'know?

JuliusCaesar

This is a good website with a test to discover the reason for your snoring. There's a few different causes, and each has its own solution - or not.

MadsL

My partner told me my snoring diminished considerably after quitting smoking.

wretcheddomain

Linda Martin snores.

Don't ask me how I know.

And not through her nose either.

Christ the Redeemer

I only snore when I'm drunk. 5 or 6 days a week isn't the worst.

BeerWolf

I snore - heck, sometimes I can even hear myself snore while I'm nodding off. :pac:

Jes114

Has anyone tried surgery successfully? maybe nasal, or uvula or something else?

IM0

Why is it most girls I've been with snore :mad:

December2012

If there's a lot of fat around you're throat you're likely to snore.

My husband snores and I get him to use the snoring strips.

I use seething passive aggression

When i seen this thread by ilovesleep i thought she might still be about. There was a tread by a newcomer that said that ilovesleep took her own life a few months ago. Does anyone know if this is true?

Serious post BTW.
