    LOL, Human Bean. I know right? It sucks! DH snores however he lays. Belly, back, side. At the moment it's magnified because his sinuses are all blocked from a cold. Last night I tried to seek refuge with DS but he just spent the night kicking me in the back/belly and I ended up having a bit of a mini tantrum at DH, who got grumpy and asked me "well what do you want me to do about it?!"
    Frak off to the couch would be nice!!

    *sigh* woe is me. I'm not a happy camper on little sleep.

    hun... DP has always snored and it's at the point where i often wake up if he STOPS (to check he's still alive).
    I had never heard of these pinky ring things, what is it supposed to do?
    Might have to look into it.

    DP's really bad too his mates always complain if they have to share a room with him and position doesn't make a big difference, i wish he'd just go to the Dr and get checked out though.

    There a little ring tha thas a point on the inside that is meant to sit against a pressure point on the inside of your little finger... the pressure point there must be connected to the throat or something, i'm not entirely sure. I just wanted to see if anyone had had success with them as at my chemist they sell for $50, and I don't really want to waste that much money on a gimmick iykwim.

    You could try elevating the bed head.

    Reason being, my step dad is a chronic snorer. Tried the mask, the laser surgery - even cutting back some bone in his nose from where it had broken years ago and not reset. The laser worked for a little while, but he started snoring again. Mum read/heard somewhere about putting a brick under each of the feet of the bed at the head of the bed, so she did. And he doesn't snore anymore.

    OMG. I'm so going to try that. Now that you mention it, if he falls asleep on the couch he doesn't snore because the way our couch is his head is sorta propped up...

    Holy crap. I'm so excited! I even have the equipment (peices of 2x4) from propping up DS cot when he was a little refluxy.
