What do you do when your spouse is snoring?

Oh the joys of being single Sorry but that was the first thought that came to mind as I know exactly what it's like to have your whole night's sleep disturbed by someone snoring by your side. I have no remedies except.... have you also got a sofa maybe even in another room?

I can definitely sympathize with you. My husband snores a good part of the night too. I poke him and he usually stops and sometimes long enough for me to get back to sleep, but not always. Sometimes I'm poking him just about all night, it seems. Does he smoke? I know smoking can make it worse. My husband quit for a while when we first got married and he didn't snore at all, and I thought his friends were nuts because they said he snored real bad but I never heard it. He started smoking again several weeks later and ohmy, I knew they were telling the truth.

I would try the pharmacy as they sell nasal strips that help with snoring but a work collegues husband didn't believe he snored even though she had been telling him for ages that he did so she videoed him snoring on her phone and put on YouTube so if you want a laugh, and of course in now believes her LOL, search for sleepless in Exmouth. Its hilarious but obviously not for her and you that have to put up with it. Good luck in finding a remedy. I hope you receive some good tips. Ellie :D

oh its horrible!! i so know how you feel. my ex not only was a snorer.. but a drooler as well. and i dont mean the little bit of dribble cause yer sleeping with yer mouth open.. but the type ya ned to actually change the sheets and pillow cases because the bed is soaked like someone hosed it down! im sorry.. but i know of no remedies other than those nose strips someone else suggested, or maybe seeing a sleep therapist. he could also have a deviated septum that can be corrected as well. my solution was to get divorced rofl

Both My Fiancee & I snore , But I wear Earplugs at night when bedtime hits. onething you might want to try is either the breathing strips or that new spray that cuts the snoring back a percentage , but not alot. If it gets worse & you can't solve it you might have to deal with his snoring like I do my fiancees I wear earplugs. If that doesn't work then try asking your DR & see what he & or she says to try. Hope This Helps Some :0)

I recall hearing about this once. The "solution" to keep the person who snores on their side is to sew a tennisball (maybe three at intervals) into the back of a t-shirt. If the person who snores tries to roll onto their back then it will be so uncomfortable they will automatically readjust their sleeping position. I don't know if it works but if you try it let us know!

well, i usually just poke my hubby and he will wake up... and then i tell him to keep quiet... and then if he starts snoring again, i will just poke him again... it usually works for him and he will stop snoring after that... if it doesn't help with your hubby and he keeps snoring really bad, then i think you have to bring him to the doctor to check him up... just to make sure that he doesn't have any medical conditions that affect him and cause him to snore continuously... good luck and have a nice day...

My fiance snores bad. I can't stand it. I usually bump him or push him to wake him up and tell him to turn over or something. I especially hate when he is in my face snoring and blowing on me. it gets on my nerves, lol. usually if he rolls on his side he doesn't snore anymore, it's mostly when he's on his back. but when I wake him up he usually quits. but I always try to get to sleep first so I don't have to hear it.

Thankfully when my partner snores it isn't very loud so it is something that I can deal with. I'm usually a pretty heavy sleeper unless I'm having one of those nights where I can't sleep so I can ignore it. Maybe you'll have to start wearing ear plugs to bed. Or your boyfriend should probably just go to the doctor and get checked out. Heavy snoring can be a problem that can be treated or managed.

Well if I love him I can ignore it. The only thing that really wakes me up is light.

I am a widow so do not have a hubby snoring problem but my son snores so loudly you can hear it from his bedroom to mine. When he remmebers to take his allergy med. then he does not snore. maybe your boyfriend has an allergy also that plugs up his nose and causes that very loud snoring. there are all sorts of allergy meds but for us we use the store brands of allergy meds.

Nothing else may work besides going to the doctor. You can try over the counter rememdies, you could wear earplugs or play soothing music to try to block out his sound, you could sleep in a separate room ... I can't stand when my mate snores .. espcially that kind of snoring where you begin to wonder if they are going to make it through the night. I used to wake him up and that would stop it for a little while. I, also, thought that if he would just let me fall asleep first, I wouldn't hear his snoring so much. You may need to see a doctor, even though you really don't want to .. especially if it's affecting his quality of sleep.

im quite lucky my husband only snores when he is on his back he usually sleeps on his side so its ok but when he does snore i just elbow him and tell him to move! i have heard that nasal strips work but i dont know many others! hope you find something that works so you can get a good night sleep!! x

I definitely recommend getting some of those Breath Rite nasal strips. They're supposed to open the nasal passage and aid in breathing during the day and night. They should help. Also, you could fabricate some special pajamas with tennis balls or golf balls in the back and sides so it's too uncomfortable for him to roll back to that position! LOL

This sounds oh so familiar! There are not too many remedies that I know of other than rolling somebody over onto their side. Their is a patch out at the pharmacist that a person can put on their nose (it does something with the nostrils) it works like a charm. cheers,

People tend to snore more when they sleep on their back. Make your boy friend sleep on his side and every time he snores at night wake him up and make him sleep on this side. Try this for a few days and see if if makes any difference

my spouse does snore, but, not loudly. She doesn't do it often neither. But, I guess that if she did snore loudly, I would try different techniques to try and get her to quit snoring. Some of them that I'd try would be: turning her over on her side(I've always heard that if you do turn a person over on their side, they will quit snoring. Never have tried that before, but, it was just a superstition that I heard when growing up.) give them some kind of snoring medicine, or whatever that you can buy. I recently seen on commercial on t.v. that you can buy this strip thing that they can put over their noses to stop snoring. I don't know if it works or not, but it's worth a try though. Those are the ones that I have that I would do if my spouse snored real badly at nights. Although, she doesn't, so I don't have to try those. i wish you luck in curing your mate's snoring problem. you might want to try those two that I posted here. They might help, you never know till you try. Thanks for asking.

I shake his body. It usually helps but not always. If not, push him a little bit so he will change sleep position. If it still not working, wake him up. Another way, cover my ear and sleep earlier.

Hello, my husband told you boyfriend Dahu,I would like very beginning is also pushing. Fight.Or pinch the nose But perhaps I was not used for a long time now he has a habit of his call I feel my sleep Even my 1-year-old babies are not accustomed to being awakened by the voice of his fight I would like to you than the first as he fell asleep The second is to slowly get used to ... Otherwise, on the third with ear plugs to sleep....

try sleeping in different rooms, or seperate the bed. you can also try nasal strips or seach on webmd snoring and they will tell you how snoring is caused!
