Snoring

[lynda66]

Bless him he spent well over £100 on mouth guard, nasal strips, throat spray and ear plugs

awwwww bless ........ did it work??

My cat snored so loudly last night (two rooms away!) I had to go and peel him out of his bed (you know how cats become 10lb heavier...) and place him on my duvet, so he wasn't all curled up in a snorty ball. He freaks me out, as he sounds like a young child moaning in pain. When he first did it I thought the house was haunted!

If it's just the cold causing the snoring, try some cold/flu tablets an hour before he goes to bed. They cut down on snot production, which may ease the congestion.

LadyWayne snores quite a bit - especially lately. But I can forgive her anything at the minute.

Apparently I breathe reeeeally heavily - about 2 breaths a minute sometimes, but it's like I suck all the oxygen out of the room - the curtains move inwards, the doors swing almost shut, drawers start to open towards me, then I breathe out.

I think I must be meditating in my sleep.

We've only tried the nasal strips so far, it all came this week and he's been on nights the last two days.

Nasal strips are an improvement but he still snored but quieter and less. It was weird because I could hear him doing the breathing that would normally become a loud snore but it didn’t, it was just a heavy breath. They worked until he opened his mouth, then they were pretty useless.

so now instead of the snoring keeping you awake, it's the waiting for the snoring ....... duck tape over the mouth will sort that then and save him having to shave after he's ripped it off in the morning

The poor bloke has man flu. I think that says it all. Leave the fella alone, you're lucky he's still living!!

[janeyo]

Funnily enough that's exactly what he says too!

Well there's got to be a reason for it, if we're both saying the same thing!!!

It came to the point where I said sort it or leave, He said there was nothing the docs could do been before, since he has had the CPAP he is a lot better in himself, he doesnt feel so tired all the time.

Like I said my dad had an op ( they took part of the roof of his mouth away and his adenoids I think) and it solved it. Bit drastic but saved the marriage!

my OH has sleep aepnea and parasomnia so I have got some experience of this. I made a little pocket and sewed it onto an old teashirt and we stuck a golfball in. It stops him sleeping on his back and for long enough so I can get to sleep before he starts. He also has a jaw guard thing that helps prevent his airway from collapsing.

There are lots of companies that sell these jaw guard things - they start from about a tenner - they might help

much to the annoyance of my OH I twitch before and during sleep like tripping up a kerb or something like that that jolts them awake and I then continue to snore........ I'd ike to add that the spare room matress is very lumpy and uncomfortable and has yet to be replaced and its seems to be taking longer than is normal.......... I wonder why?

[bobleponge]

you're both stoopid??

Or both right?

[jackie j]

OH snores no matter how he sleeps, on his back, front, sides, upside down !!!
