Does anyone know of any home remedies that could help with this? We have to sleep in separate rooms because I need the room to be totally quiet before I can pass out. Please, please, please!! Anyone? P.S We've tried all the over the counter stuff.

Sometimes when someone is snoring in the room with me i kind of make noises so they'd wake up. Usually when they get to sleep again they won't be snoring anymore. If that doesn't work tell them they snore too loud. or something... =)

I tried everything to try to stop him from snoring, I even put up a list on www.snoringboyfriend.com but in the end I stopped trying to get him to stop snoring and bought really good earplugs instead!

Maybe he should check out if he has sleep apneoa? It is a common reason to snore, and can sometimes be fixed or you can wear a special mask that stops snoring and helps the person sleep better. Is he really tired during the day? Otherwise maybe he should see a doctor if there's some other reason causing it? Coz sometimes snoring is harmless but it can often be a sign something is wrong, I think. And especially if it's so loud that you can't even sleep! Hope this is of any help!

Thanks for your response. I never really thought of it as being something on the surface that's the effect of something wrong on the inside. He's mentioned going to see a dotcor about getting something to help him stop snoring, but maybe he needs to get a complete check-up to be sure nothing else is going on. Thanks again.

yes, don't sleep on your back..sleep on your side..left or right.. one method is to take a t=shirt and sew a pocket for a tennis ball to be inserted in the middle of the back area..this prevents you from sleeping on your back but will not wake you if you do..but remind you to sleep in a better position..this has been used by some who have had positive results..good luck..
