What do you do? I absolutely love him but this is awful. lol
Any thing that would help???? It's so loud I have to use ear plugs...

Do your husbands/wives move to the next room if they awaken you from the snoring???

At times my hub will usually go in another room to sleep!!!

What to do.

Have a doctor check him out. It could be sleep apnea and snoring is the least of his problems. If he gets on a CPAP machine, there will be no more snoring. In fact modern models are very quiet. This actually create a "white noise" that can drown out other annoying noises.

If that doesn't work, its possible that laser surgery might work. Not fun though. I've had it.

I was with someone who had sleep apnea, it was horrible! a couple of times I thought I should wake him up or something! I was actually kind of scared!
snoring doesn't bother me too much because I sleep very deeply and don't notice it, but this was crazy!
Literally, it sounded like a truck was running over his ribs, breaking them all!! I think he had a mask, but he didn't use it.

Check out the sleep apnea thing first and if that's not it, then use the nose strips. They really work.

I don't get how those nose strip work? I mean I know they open up your nasal passages, but doesn't snoring come from the throat?

Nose strips don't do anything for him unfortunately....

He will have to go see a physician at this point. It is so loud it sounds like someone is starting up their car lol

or a lawnmower!!, if it's that bad, I would agree it's doctor time, just in case.

What sleep apnea is is when someone stops breathing while they sleep. Although excess weight can exacerbate the situation, the muscles of the neck/throat relax too much and actually cut off the air way. When it's slight obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), the result is snoring. In the moderate OSA and even severe, snoring can become more pronounced.

The "mask" discussed in the quoted area above is normally for a system called a "C-PAP". That is a machine that simply forces air down the windpipe. I work with an individual who has it, and he said that he not only sleeps better, but actually remembers that he started dreaming again too. And, if the air flow is properly adjusted, there is no snoring at all, and he says that the machine is so quiet, it's barely noticeable (he jokes that it's a LOT less noisy than his snoring).

Since OSA is the obstruction or complete stopping of breathing (for periods at a time, of course), it's a very dangerous and possibly fatal condition. Y'all really should do some online research, talk to a doctor, and seriously contemplate a sleep study.

Yep, I just did something on this field myself. It can also cause cardiac problems as well. If it's really this bad, you need to seek your doctor's advice on what to do.

My wife snores LOUDLY! Our bedroom is on the second floor, and I can hear her snoring when I'm in the basement!

We leave the TV on all night long. Works for us.



Now, some have said that I snore too. Not sure about that. I had a "first date" with an online friend once. We went to a planetarium to watch a show. Boy those seats were comfortable! When it was over I woke up. She said I was snoring. I asked her why she didn't wake me.

She said she didn't want anyone to know she was with me so just leaned away from me.

My dad snores really bad. It seems like he wants so suck in the whole ceiling.
