Nasal snorer - husband on edge..help!

[bacon]

I think I started snoring about 8 years ago but it was occassional but recently it is every night. The OH recorded it the other night and it was loud and very nasal (sleep with mouth shut. I do have rhinitus but I am not blocked (for a change). I sleep pretty well apart from being shouted at!

I can understand my husbands fustration and he can be really evil some mornings. Now I get anxiety about falling asleep.

Has anyone any experience of this and what can help so far I've come across beathing excercises and singing for snorers but wonder if these vocal excercises are more for throat snorers.

I know there are things on the market but these are aimed at keeping the mouth shut and nasal passages clear.

Hmm, I would go talk to your GP. And in the meantime, can you do separate rooms? My OH snores like a train and I have very occasionally considered recording him, but luckily I sleep so heavily that it is rarely an issue (and I snore myself - so does ds - so it's a mutual assured destruction kind of thing) so he must be fairly unpleasant desperate to have resorted to this. Separate rooms does not have to mean the end of your marriage - lots of people do it (Jenni Murray IIRC slept with her children and separately from her partner for years) and still have shagtastic times. But you both deserve to sleep IMO.

My husband's snoring was awful - if he fell asleep while we were watching TV I had to put on subtitles! We got him the anti-snore ring which puts pressure on points on the little finger. It reduced the volume and frequency of snoring amazingly. They usually have a money back guarantee - though our Health Food shop has never had one brought back.

I snore terribly. My and DH haven't slept in the same room for years.

I saw my GP but I'm not over weight, I snore in any position that I lay in, I have nasal problems and take a spray which is a bit helpful but I still snore. She said about the surgery but she said it isn't a nice op and it also doesn't always work.

Cant move out the property is only 2 beds!!!

I have thought about going to ENT consult but having read forums on snoring there doenst seem to be any cure.

DetectivePotato I'm glad I've found another lady snorer! Ive been on nasal sprays on and off but they were starting to burn and still snoring. Surgery wise there isnt anything wonderful to offer either.

flamingtoaster I'll have a look at this snore ring.

I'm just concerned about our relationship, he works 7 days a week and my additional snorting isnt helping work pressures.

Such an annoying aliment!

My dh snores and it really can be like torture - honestly I wouldn't call him unpleasant for getting cross about it. My dh will sleep elsewhere if he gets loud and wouldn't dream of expecting me to put up with it.

You should definately go to the GP, a friend had to frog march her other half and it transpired he had an underactive thyroid. He started on the medication, lost weight, stopped snoring and felt a whole lot better. It's not always this, but I would do anything to try to reduce or stop it.

the british snoring website may help you.

We only have a 2 bed too. DH sleeps in the front room.

My DH is a snorer (but unlike you he denies it). I wear ear plugs, its the only way I can get any sleep.
