If you snore...

[TheMurk]

Do you snore all the time, ie every night?

Because I snore (which was news to me after a life of blissful ignorance, previous partners had never mentioned it until current DP told me I snore like steam train rolling through the room every 10 seconds...) but apparently I don’t snore every night.

When I go through a snoring phase it’s so bad that he needs to sleep in the spare room.

This can go on for weeks.

Then just like that, it stops. And then it’s weeks or months more until I have another snoring phase.

I just wonder what makes me snore if it’s not a constant thing, ie it can’t be a mechanical problem like the shape of my throat or something.

So if you snore, do you snore every night or does it come and go?

I always snore but (apparently!) is just a soft choo choo sound ... unless I've been drinking wine.

I have snored since I was a kid though and my son is the same. I assume we have some kind of genetic nasal defect!

Dh snores. Not every night. But it's definitely worse if he is:

• very tired
• been drinking
• laying on his back

Sometimes it's a combo of all three and I'm telling you that no judge would convict me of murder if I smothered him in his sleep.

But he is trying to lose some weight, he doesn't drink that often and he never gets the hump when I constantly nudge him to turn over onto his side!

Comes and goes for me, with the weather and the allergy seasons. Weeks sounds like you could be allergy seasons too.

Apparently I snore really loud all the time. I've tried to discuss specifics with him to try and stop or reduce it but he's not very helpful.

My husband says he is amazed by the different sounds that I make at night. It can't be classed as snoring it's so bad. A cross between a bear and something he wouldn't like to meet. Luckily he us a heavy sleeper.

@nettytree ha! And yes you are lucky he’s a heavy sleeper, mine is a very light sleeper...

I kind of know when I’m snoring as I often wake myself up.

It’s been a while since it happened but the allergy theory is interesting although I don’t believe myself to have any allergies as such when I’m awake?

If that was the case is there something I can take for it?

Could you have sleep apnea? Have a google and look at the symptoms.
