People Who Snore

Have you ever dealt with someone that snores? If so, how did you handle it? Those so called nasal strips never really worked. I had to resort to ear plugs which was a better option

I moved to the couch for a couple of years before I moved out completely.

My late sister and her husband came for Christmas one year back in the '90's and spent the night. My brother was over that night as well and spent many nights with us throughout the year.

That morning my sister's husband asked how in the world did I ever sleep between my husband snores, my 12 year old son's snores, and my brother's snores? He said he thought about going out to their car to sleep. I told him it was beyond awful when they would all be under the roof singing their songs.

It would be a good idea for people who snore so loudly to be evaluated to see if they have sleep apnea.

Separate bedrooms, for years now. BUT, he does use those nasal strips and they do work for him. AND, when he lost weight, he stopped snoring as much. We will have company this weekend so we will be in the same room again for a few days. Hopefully he won't keep me up!

@aj1980

I know people snore ....it's nice to know I'm in good company 😌

I get so frustrated! I have begged him to get the sleep study test for sleep apnea!

I have tried EVERYTHING...except the separate bedrooms!

That's my mission today ! Thanks for the fantastic advice ! 😀

My husband has sleep apnea, he found out when he did the sleep study. When he sleeps on his back, for some reason he still snores, so I have to nudge him to get him to sleep on his side. I'm not ready to go to the spare bedroom, sometimes I'll put my AirPods in my ears and listen to music to help drown out the snoring.

I hear DH snore sometimes. I push him & yell knock it off. He generally rolls over & it stops. If it gets bad I will kick him out of the bedroom since I'm not dealing with that plus not getting my sleep.

My sister sleeps on the couch due to her husband's snoring. She should tell him to sleep some place else?

@aj1980 Yes, agree with separate bedrooms. I also close my door and play rain sounds on a loop. My brother and SIL sleep on separate FLOORS! When our kids visit next week I'll have to move back in with DH. I dread it, but he'll have to deal me with waking several times a night and reading my iPad.

I pushed him to get a sleep study, which resulted in a c-pap, problem solved. He says I snore too, but once his mask is on he can't hear me.

Separate bedrooms (on separate floors)

I read an article today somewhere that Gwyneth Paltrow and her husband have separate bedrooms and a third for their marital relations. Thought that was a good idea for the third to keep each other out of their private spaces.

* or maybe it was Cameron Diaz I get those two confused sometime. Regardless third bedroom sounds like a happy marriage.

Anyone else try a vaporizer?

DS is young and in great shape but his last few visits, boy was he snoring!

I've got an old Vicks vaporizer with steam, not the cool mist. I fill it and add eucalyptus oil in the winter for my sinuses. I put it in the guest room for him and wham! No snoring!

I was the snorer. Somehow DH managed. Losing a bunch of weight and getting the Roto Rooter surgery (nasal polyps removal) cured me.

Your sleeping buddy needs to take this seriously. Excess weight would be obvious but they may have sleep apnea or polyps. Get it checked out asap.

Hope to fall deeply asleep before the other person starts snoring

I left our bedroom years ago...he snores. i am guessing that if I had not moved to the spare room at that time I would have eventually.

We both have trouble sleeping really well anymore, and when I cannot sleep, the TV comes on....and he has to use the bathroom 1-2x. per night which would wake me.

Not really what I wanted to do but I need my sleep!
