Snoring advice pleaaaase

[segc94]

Please, before I lose the will to live, can anybody out there give me a cure for snoring. My DP snores, and that's putting it politely... I've never heard anything like it. It's like a combination of a chainsaw malfunctioning and an earthquake all at once.

I know this is a common thing and most people can just get used to it and crack on with their life... but I can't. I literally cannot get to sleep in the same room if he's already asleep and snoring. And it's driving me mad.

I feel like it's affecting our relationship because I can't remember the last time I slept the full night next to him without one of us having to go into the spare room!

So... any advice to help with his snoring? If any? Please 😩

My parents recently bought an electronic bed where each side can be separately adjusted.
They have been married for 40 years and mum had her first ever full nights sleep last week!
An expensive solution but probably less costly than having to properly dispose of a body when you finally snap.

I think separate rooms is the answer or at least the option to make a hasty exit from marital bed when you've had enough of the noise. Winky can you tell us more about the electronic bed please I'm intrigued.

Yes winky this bed sounds intriguing, not that I'm considering it haha.

I'm just wondering if the expensive snoring aids you see in boots (around £30-£40) are worth the money... I'd be happy to spend that much if it means I can sleep peacefully without wanting to throw DP out the window

It's similar to this. Each side has it's own remote control so that the different parts can be adjusted.
They have single fitted sheets on the bottom and then a kingsized quilt over the top.
My mum is very happy!

Better example

Buy yourself a pack of silicon ear plugs. I've slept with earplugs for the past 18 years. It won't totally block the noise but helps a fair bit.

How would that help the snoring though? It's not clear. That happy lady doesn't have a great snoring bear next to her. Is that why she's smiling? Did she execute him? With the bed?
Where is her duvet? Who sleeps like that? I have many questions.

An extra pillow sorted DH out. Not a big fluffy one but an old flattish one which just raised his head by another couple of inches.

Winky definitely looks like it's worth the money! Even if I didn't have a DP who snores his head off ha!

Namethecat tried it. Doesn't work unless I put 3 pillows and a mountain of duvet over my head. Even then I can still hear him also tried to snoring pillow. Running out of options!

Mayhem sometimes this works! I say sometimes being once every 2 months for about an hour.

I have made my dp try all of the high st cures and the only thing that worked for him was losing weight. He lost 7 stone and we could finally sleep next to each other.

He has since regained the weight and that's why he's on the sofa and I'm in the king size bed with the 6 month old

Earplugs!! I slept with them for 15 years and only stopped because I had a baby. then the snoring was awful, so I've replaced it with loud-ish rain white noise (did this for baby but turns out it blocks annoying noises out too) - we play it all night.

Earplugs. I use the squishy foam ones, what I do is put one in one ear then squish my other ear into the pillow. It works enough to block out snoring, but means that once I fall asleep and move around I can still head the DC if they need me.

I feel your pain OP - we sleep in separate rooms because I absolutely cannot stand DP's snoring, it's a ridiculous noise...

Has your DP been to the gp about his snoring?

I'm the snorer in our house and after several suggestions from the gp I went for a sleep study and was diagnosed with sleep apnoea. Now I sleep with a cpap machine and I've stopped snoring! Me and dh are both sleeping again!

i'm the snorer in our house and every time dp resorts to earplugs he goes deaf and need ears syringing after a month or two.

Ive tried snore rings,vicks, sleeping sitting up and apparently none of that makes a difference. I didnt want to use a spray or anything as will be ttc soon so i have hunted high and low and caved and ordered a bit of kit off amazon for £8.99.

Dp is VERY happy. It's basically a nasal vent and this weird mouth piece that suctions your tongue out of your mouth. It's not mega uncomfortable so can easy drift off when in use but i must admit my tongue and teeth are a bit sore the next day. Nothing major and not enough to put me off using considering how happy dp is but i do notice it. Our compromise is to not use it at the wkend.

I am not thinking of splashing out on a proper mouth piece which i suspect wont give me the sore tongue and teeth the next day.
