DH snores like an asthmatic grizzly bear. Tried the fancy pillows, the nasal strips, those weird things that go up the nose... help! Has anyone found anything that actually works aside from shoving him

Nope sorry not much help, I’m thinking of smothering mine with his anti snoring pillow, he’s currently snoring and he’s woken up next doors dog and everyone in the household. Not impressed.

An axe?

I had quite bad snoring problems but that’s because I have a problem with my sinuses (they’re pretty much always blocked for no reason). I started getting treatment for that - nasal sprays etc - and it really helped. Is there any chance he has a sinus issue?

Holding his nose shut till he stops breathing and wakes himself up or kicking him. I may or may not employ these tricks on a nightly basis. Ear plugs for you? If it's really bad maybe a wee check up at the GP just to check it's not sleep apnea etc

#PoutySprout tempting

Maybe it is worth shipping him off to the docs to check for sinus issues or sleep apnoea... I hadn't thought of that. Assuming I don't kill him first of course...

The only snoring remedy I've found is having a spare bedroom (which he's currently in).

I watched a programme which said to make a sound like a clicking noise from your mouth. Tried it when dp snores and it does stop him, albeit briefly.

Made me laugh as he actually asked me the other morning if I’d been making weird noises or had he dreamt it 😆

He holds my nose when I snore!

Separate bedrooms? DH and I both snore like pneumatic drills, and I honestly think that sleeping separately has saved our marriage.
It sounds daft but the "sneaking around" and having to make the effort to actually go to each other to snuggle up or have sex has added to our relationship too. We know we mean it iyswim, and it is fun

Weight loss? Only thing that worked for me.

Tonsillectomy was recommended for my husband 6 years ago. As he hasn’t yet had it, divorce is next option.

It might be worth checking for sinus issues or deviated septum.
