Snoring

    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

    Ear plugs

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

    Ear plugs

    I'll recommend it to the other until I get a solution for the snoring.

    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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 683 ✭✭✭starlings


    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.

    Because beer guts and receding hairlines is a mans forum, is it not?

    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 :o

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,005 ✭✭✭✭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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 35,514 ✭✭✭✭efb


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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,801 ✭✭✭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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
