Snoring

[AnyDream]

Thread resurrected? BBR your neti pot suggestion is a good one, you can also buy hypertonic nasal rinses in a pressurized bottle with a nose nozzle that do the same thing conveniently.

BUT, really, your best bet is to send the Midnight Roaring Snorer along to a sleep centre for a sleep study. I've been there done that. There are sleep centres in the public hospital system, or if you have insurance, the health fund covers like any other hospital admission at a private centre. Then, your darling man will be confronted with the degree of oxygen deprivation going on every single night & the likely health effects & they are more likely to want to get something done to fix it.

PS in my case, guilty as charged, however I only snore when I'm on my back and that's only briefly through the night.

ETA - and read that book with the breathing technique - it doesn't work for everyone but for a subset it does & it's worth trying.

yes agree have a sleep study or more conveniently have a Home-based portable monitor with PM, ask your doctor if he recommends that.Aside from doing the tips or home remedies for snorers

What ended up working ladies? Pinky rings? Elevated bed?
My DH has been snoring for about 6 months now and he's doomed to the couch! But, I have to say I'm quite liking the bed all to myself

Pinky rings? Elevated bed?

This Anti Snore is a ring worn on the pinky finger that will stop you from snoring. Is this effective? there have been studies it is not. I don't see any relation in wearing ring with snoring. Drying of mouth could be the cause so just drink water before sleeping and have a humidifier to moisten the room and stop drying of mouth. Sleep position is also a big factor, sleep on your side and elevate your bed.

I would like to add that (mild) snoring can be helped by using nasal saline spray and keeping well hydrated.

Yes it is somehow connected with what I said that to keep the room moist while sleeping, and drink a glass of water before bedtime to avoid drying of throat. If the room temp is too dry use a humidifier, dry air dries the throat and eventually causes snoring. Saline spray is good as well.
