Don't drink alcohol, lol, makes me snore like a pig.

Also don't sleep on your back, try your sides or front as I also snore when I am lay on my back.....

Come on men, send her to the couch!! As said previously by someone else, she graps my nose to stop it or forces me onto my side.

Another good one is to pretend to be worried, by volunteering to sit up a bit longer so that she can get to sleep first. She will thank you for sounding caring and considerate. In reality it gives you peace to sit on the pc, xbox, ps3 or watch the smut. I love this one as its win win!

a wet finger in the ear, stops the snoring, no idea how it works but i read it in a mag years ago, and it definitly works on Darth Vader (I mean the missus)

Thats a real gem ma8 sort of thing my mrs would do to me. I think snoring is weight related. if your over weight lose some may help. I am sure thats my salvation.:Clap:

Think snoring will always be with you. Ear plugs for the missus is an instant remedy. I've got a HEPA air filter in the bedroom, I take anti-histamine, and a nasal spray, and that has made my snoring much better.

You can get surgery, but thats only if you have suspected or diagnosed sleep apnea. A guy I know went in for a routine operation to clear his snoring though, and it nearly killed him. Complications during surgery etc. He was in intensive care for weeks. Hardly worth it...

..oh, and I'm only slim/medium build, so I'd say my snoring is a mix of genetic & allergies.

I've been a snorer for over 10 years and in recent years it got worse. I eventually persuaded my doctor to refer me to a specialist. I had an operation on my nose because he said my bone was out of line. It didn't work. In the last 3-4 years I've become more tired and kept falling asleep during the day and feeling tired all the time while my snoring got louder. I went back to my GP and finally got referred to a specialist. They carried out an Apnea test to determine if I had sleep apnea. They discovered I had what they call apnea 44 times in an hour. This is when you stop breathing while you sleep.
I was eventually given a machine to use while I sleep. It has totally transformed my life. I don't snore or get tired during the day. Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is still new and is beginning to be understood in the medical world so I would say you need to really persuade your GP to refer you to specialist so you have one of these tests to determine whether you have OSA. Their are people now how think that snoring is very likely related to this condition. Snoring is a butt of many people's jokes but it could be a life threatening condition.

Theres some plasters that you get they stretch across your nose and keep you passages open. I have seen them advertised on TV. You could trying nipping to the Chemist and getting some.

Let us know how you stopped it.

I wouldn't bother buying thoses strip, don't work. Well they didn't work for me - you can buy them cheap in Poundland if you have one around your area.

Thanks guys for the advise about Sleep Apnea (never heard of it until now). May get myself checked out and see If I have this condition as I snore heavily and have problem sleep throughout the night.

i might try the doctor to see about the sleep apnoea thing as the wife says i stop breathing (lasts about 10 secs followed by a sharp intake of breath) numerous times during my sleep (first time she noticed it she freaked because she thought i was suffocating).

Thanks for all your help, much appreciated by the wife lol.

My missis snores like an elephant ! its sooo anoying, i hate the sound, keeps me awake, on some nights i,m actually awake waiting for her to start cos i no what to expect ! , I usually dig her in the back when she snores and pretend to be asleep when she shoots up suddenly moaning . It got that bad i made her goto the doctors and I even recorded her on a tape racorder to let her listen to how bad she was. She went to a sleep clinic and spent the night under tests which probibly kept the whole hospital wing awake lol.. They put it down to adanoid problems wateva that is ! gave her some nasal spray .. I still have to kick her when shes asleep tho ...

My Mrs used to do that as well...scared the $h1t outta me the first coupla times she did it.

She's from Coltness btw...must be something to do with the air up there (prolly the 'Craig)

Actually I went to the doctors about this once before and they gave me some kind of steroid spray to put up my nose before I went to bed lol

It did stop me snoring as bad, but still snored all the same. And you can only use it for a few months before you have to stop using it for a few months. (Probably to stop you blowing planes out the sky when you sneeze! lol)
