Snoring

Good solid nudge in the ribs.

Body remembers a bit of pain and it works. Just make sure you use the elbow anything with the hand could be construed as a 'smack'

Nod nod wink wink.

Good luck

I've heard about that nasel delivery system and a co-worker knows someone that has had success with it. Just wondered if any others on here have tried it and got results.

Yeah, my cousin does it really loudly...

What I do is, twist his neck...

...just be careful

I fixed my snoring problem by kicking the bitch out of the house.

Now I sleep like a baby.

That's my preferred method, although it is never received well! (In addition to the indignant "I was not!" ) How he can tell when he's asleep I'll never know... But wait it gets better. The dog sleeps on his bean bag beside the bed and there are nights when I get it from both the males in the room with me. Between the husband (a good kick is sometimes needed) and the dog (usually resort to growling the hell out of his name, which works btw) I'm then so awake I get out of bed and leave them to it. Once all is quiet again I go back to bed only to lie awake....sigh. Thankfully it's not every night or the only two sleeping in our room would be hubby and hound!

(the dogs snoring is just as bad as hubby's)

This is all good funny stuff but its not really helping

According to my better half I snore rather loudly...

I've never considered it a problem myself - and neither does she. Why worry about it then?

On the other hand I've had some really funny situations because of it. Like falling asleep on trains, planes or buses - and just as I'm about to fall asleep properly I make a mighty snore and wake myself up... Funny as hell! Especially the embarrased looks on the faces around me looking everywhere but in my direction

One thing to bear in mind as well is the impact of different sleeping positions. One tends to snore more when sleeping flat on the back as opposed to on the stomach or side.
My advice would be to see a doctor if it indeed IS a problem for you!

OK.... well this is my input!

It’s destructive enough to a relationship that you should look into it - the last thing you want is your partner being angry (and believe me at 3am in the morning it’s more emotional that rational) because they are being deprived of a basic human necessity.

Yup, loosing weight is a big part of the solution, however I would suggest going to see a doc – there may be something else causing it, that could be easily resolved…. So instead of looking at these turkeys on KB, go and get it looked at/sorted.

I once read that keeping you off your back is important, and heard that people have things sewed into their sleep shirt (like a tennis ball) that prevents you from falling asleep or turning over on to your back.

What Mrs Kendog says may sound bazaar, but a friend of ours says having his tonsils removed, reduced his snoring by 80%...

Go to the doc and have a chat…. Its important enough for you to find a resolution.

My wife had a real problem to the point where I either wore ear plugs or slept in a spare room. If 10 was the worst imaginable on a snoring scale, she would have been 8-9. Someone put us onto: http://www.snore-op.com/ and she went to the Tauranga branch for assessment and treatment. It involves "burning" the soft palate with a radio frequency probe to tighten the skin up and stop it flapping (a common cause of snoring). Sounds horrible but only gave her a slightly sore throat for a day. I'd assess her snoring as less than 3 now so we're all happy campers. Cost? About $200 per treatment from memory and she had 2.

Lose weight.

There's a foolproof cure for snoring..................stop breathing.

Yeah that is apparantely a very good precedure, but not all snoring is caused by the same thing, so appararently is only works for some...

So once again, best to see the Doc and get the cause diagnosed, and then voila! peaceful sleep, for all.... not just you
