Any Ideas??

Question

I am absolutely in love with my fiancé, but we have one major problem that is effecting our relationship. HE SNORES! I don't mean a little bit, I mean it keeps me, the dog, and the cat awake. I am beginning to become concerned because we have started to sleep in separate rooms. Sometimes he comes to bed and I move after about 30 minutes, or other nights he sleeps in a different room because he doesn't want to bother me.

So, I'm in need of some insight. Am I over reacting and it's ok to sleep in separate rooms? If not, any suggestions on how to reduce his snoring? He's not over weight (actually he could stand to gain about 10 pounds) , so losing weight is not an option. I'm at a loss.

Answer

He needs to see a sleep ap doc. He will probably need a cpap machine. It would change the way he snores and sleeps. Also had he had his tonsils and or adenoids removed ? Adenoids can be a big contributor to snoring. Also has he tried Flonase or over the counter meds?

Answer

I used tk snore really loudly when i was young. So when i turned 5 i went to get my adinoids taken out with my tonsils. The adinoids make the noise.

Answer

A couple who sleeps in separate rooms has such a negative stigma. It's not always a bad thing. I know lots of people who do it for this very reason! As long as you have a good and healthy relationship then something as menial as sleeping in separate beds because of snoring isn't going to hurt anything. If you're both ok with it and it's helping you sleep better then do it!

Answer

There is a spray you can buy that's call SnoreStop . It works so well! My ex snored SO loud and he used that and never snored again ! Good luck :)

Answer

I found a site where you could test where your snoring was coming from, like just by moving around your face. Based on that, I found out a moth guard which keeps my jaw forward seriously reduces snoring. We both sleep a lot better now. :)

Answer

Could be something like a deviated septum. Sometimes tonsils and adenoids can cause snoring too. There are so many causes of snoring. Apnea is a disruption in breathing, where you literally stop breathing. Snoring frequently goes along with it. Unless you can hear long pauses between snores, that one can get ruled out pretty easily.

Answer

Those nose strips... Ear plugs (I sleep with them because my hubby snores)…

Answer

Some nights my husband wears breathe rite strips, some nights I kick him to the guest room. Ask him to stay awake till you fall asleep.

Answer

Have him talk to a sleep doctor he may have sleep apnea.

Answer

They make nasal strips that go on your nose when you sleep. They helped me not snore when I was a kid. I believe that there is also a spray for your throat that helps with the snoring  somehow. Not sure how it works.
