Do you have a strategy to stop your partner from snoring (other than the poke in the side)?

Best answer!

Some people say the Breath Free Nasal strips help to cut down on snoring. And there's a soft, rubber, apparatus that you can put inside you nose to open up your breathing passages.that's supposed to help with snoring. Using a homeopathic nose drops is supposed to moisten the inside of your nasal pasages, and your larnyx........to cut down on snoring. Ditto for using normal saline wtih a neti pot. Some people get surgery to have a little of the soft palate cut away..........that's the culprit that causes snoring. Some people get an uvulaectomy to help with breathing and thus cuts down on snoring.I know a woman that did that. She said she wouldn't do it again, if she had a chance to do it over.

Personally, I'm an advocate of sleeping in separate beds. You can still have sex, and cuddle , and then go into the other room after the snorer starts snoring.

I've tried virtually everything short of putting the pillow over her face, if you come up with a solution other than moving into another room, let me know! ;)

How ironic, we were discussing my snoring capabilities this morning.

@ Bustie, I think Roy gets a kick out of holding my nose shut until I wake up gasping for air. He's sooooo nice! (*~*)

I have thought of the pillow more than once over the years. I have a second room, usually, but daughter and her family have moved back for 4 mo. now. Their house will be ready in early Dec. (I hope). I use OTC "pain relief with sleep aid" 1-2 pills, I sleep good with that.

get her checked out for sleep apnea mate,, if she has to wear a mask, it will just mean a different noise

She finally did sleep studies, marginal apnea, they didn't require the machine. She has 2 brothers, one used it, other did need but not use. Thanks..

I snore when I sleep laying on my back, if I lay on one side I don't.

I used to wake him up and tell him he was snoring. Then he went to a sleep center and was diagnosed with sleep apnea and now he sleeps with a C-Pap machine and we both sleep well and awake refreshed! All is well, thank goodness.

Thanks for all the input, people. If I ever have a bed partner again who snores (which I've never had to deal with, thankfully), there will be many options to alleviate the problem. Hopefully, it won't be ME!!!
