CPAP

Get tested for sleep apnea.

Mouth tape.

Man, snoring's been wrecking my sleep. Found this anti snoring mouthpiece called AirSnore. Legit, it's one of the best anti snoring devices I've tried. Super comfortable and actually works, giving me those quiet nights and way better sleep. If you're in the snore struggle, might wanna check it out. Just saying, it's a solid snore relief without being all invasive. Peace out!

Stop messing around and get a cpap machine then work on weight

Weight loss was the only thing that worked for me

Wedge pillow and sleeping on side using a tennis ball taped/sewn to back of t shirt

Exercise is the first start which contributes to help reducing it

Snore Less Now mouthpiece has helped a lot as a quick fix. Losing 15-20lbs is the ultimate goal.

Thanks OP for taking the time to post. I am using a similar but cheaper device and have noticed the sore teeth in the morning - the bottom front two teeth and top front two teeth particularly. If you think about it this makes sense because it’s using the top teeth to take the “weight” of your falling bottom jaw and it hangs on to your bottom jaw by your bottom teeth. I figure if I had a better quality device the load might be distributed more evenly around my mouth and not on the front two teeth but maybe not.

I’ve had mixed results with mine - some nights I’ve barely snored at all (score of 3 on snore lab) just using the appliance (not mouth tape and or nasal dilator) but other nights done exactly the same thing and got 50-60 snore lab score.

I rang BUPA dental and asked for a quote for a dentist made device and she said “ABOUT $1,600 before BUPA extras rebate”. That’s Australian dollars btw

If you're breathing through your mouth, that means more air on your teeth, which means drying out your teeth, which leads to sensitivity, just fyi.

Tried the SnoreMD for the first time last night. Woke up at 2am. Scorelab result was 4. Has never ever been that low. Felt uncomfortable and I left it out to go back to sleep. Results for rest of the sleep just showed light sleeping only. So I’m super happy and just want to keep trialling different things to get on top of it all. Still want to lose another 10kgs and also cut back and the couple of glasses of wine each night. But yes, a massive difference using it. I was averaging 50/60 each night on the SnoreLab. This is the first thing I’ve really done to get on top of it.

I have success with SnoreRX

Tongue exercises, oral appliance and nasal dilator worked for me.

Well, I’ve been partnered for 30 years and I’ve never been able to control my partner’s behavior. Things I try (as the snorer) are mouth tape, sleeping on my side, elevating the head of the bed, nasal rinse before bed, sleep apps. Things I try (as the snoree) are headphones or earplugs, melatonin so I sleep more soundly, sleeping with a pillow over my head, and gently reminding my partner to roll over when he’s moved into his back. When all else fails someone will sleep in the couch if need be. Patience and understanding go a long way. If she does have sleep apnea that’s important to get treated as it can lead to long term health consequences. If she snores because people snore, then it’s just a process of trying things until you figure out what works for you. Good luck.

Separate bedrooms. I don't know how people survive relationships when sharing a bed.

I feel you—snoring that intense can really push you to your limit. I went through something similar with my partner, and it was brutal. Constant nudging, no sleep, both of us cranky—it’s just not sustainable.

One thing that finally helped us was the Good Morning Snore Solution. It’s this soft little mouthpiece that holds the tongue forward instead of messing with your jaw or teeth. Sounds weird, but it actually works. Super easy to use, and it’s not some bulky contraption. Plus, they’ve got a guarantee so if it doesn’t help, you’re not out a lot money.

Definitely still encourage a doctor visit when you can, just to rule anything serious out—but in the meantime, something like GMSS might be a solid step to get you both sleeping (and staying) in the same bed again.

Check to make sure there's no deviated septum causing the problem. This can easily/usually be corrected with surgery.

If it's weight-related - losing weight may help.

If it's allergy-related - you may need to use a spray, tablet or neti-pot to clear your sinuses.

If it's sleep apnea, you may need a CPAP device. Ask your wife if it sounds like you stop breathing and then have a big !sNoRk* and go back to breathing again. This will also cause you to feel hungover all the time and have dry mouth and sore throat issues in the morning.

CPAP changed our lives. Not even joking.

Talk to a doctor. Snoring can result from sleep apnea. It can be brutal. But it’s easily treated with a CPAP machine. Good luck.

Losing weight. Not having all the extra burden on my larynx ended my snoring issues.

Cut alcohol and lose weight. If neither of those work, get a sleep study done. Imagine how she feels never getting a good night’s sleep while she has to watch you peacefully roaring away. I’d lose my mind too.

Another bedroom

I had a mouth guard from Harvey Norman. It worked fine most of the time. Decided to see if I had sleep apnea because I was tired all the time and it turns out I have it pretty bad. I now have a cpap machine and sleep like a baby. I went to the place on acheron drive

If you can afford it, make an appointment at the Sleepwell Clinic - you may benefit from a c-pap machine, but they can assess you and make recommendations. I wouldn't waste time or money on the cheap options. My hubs was a chronic snorer and now with his c-pap doesn't snore at all.

I used the Apnearx mouthguard for a couple years. I recently stopped as overtime my lower jaw seems to have permanently moved forward a bit and the mouth guard wasn’t really working since. I would get 5-6months out of each one. They worked great while I could use them.

I’m in limbo a bit currently. I’ve found that using a very large and firm pillow helps as the head is pushed forward a bit. It’s not very comfy on the neck though. I’m planning to try a new mouthguard after a 3 month break. About 2 so far.

I think it’s inevitable I’ll need to go to one of these sleep clinics and try cpap.

I used a CPAP , it effect immediately. After that I loss 15kg , don’t need it anymore

Long-term sleeping lumberjack here.

The Sleepwell clinic helped confirm that I had sleep apnea, and sold me a CPAP machine about 25 years ago now which stopped the snoring in its tracks.

It is an expensive option, Sleepwell are not subsidised and charge accordingly, but it is an effective solution.

I went to a specialist about sinus issues and during conversation I mentioned my snoring has been said to have gotten worse. He said exercising to the point of panting will strengthen the soft palate and bits in the throat that ‘flap around’ to create snoring.

So it seems losing weight ~ getting out of breath is the answer!

CPAP

As a wife of 34 years and no kids left in the house, I moved in the spare bedroom. Sorry I live in Texas and this popped up on my newsfeed and I love AskUK. But I did see this on The Today Show and it's called Sleep Divorce. Best decision we both ever did. Not going to lie to u, we have been doing this for 2 years now. I was beating this poor man to death to get him to quit snoring. Now get this, after a year he no longer snores like he did only if he really is tired or too many cold beers. But I still sleep in the spare bedroom and we trade off rooms for special times ❤️❤️❤️.

I disagree with over weight, I'm not at all over weight, but I still snore. It has to do with the lower jaw moving back while we are asleep.

My wife’s elbow in my ribs. Never fails.

My wife's fist

I'm far from overweight. I snore loudly, from what my wife has told me. I can't help it. It has to do with my sinuses. I have trouble breathing through my nose while sleeping. Hence my mouth opens and I start to roar. I'm looking for something to help the situation.

I have the AirPod Max headphones that cover my ears, and I think because they’re flat, they are more comfortable for me to sleep in. The Apple or Bose noise canceling earbuds hurt my ears when I lay on my side.

Your man needs a CPAP!

I feel you. My wife is the same. I sometimes have to go sleep in another room. Other than that, I usually have a fan going, ear plugs, and we have a little water bubbler thing. Every once in a while I mention a CPAP machine or surgery, but she always says “nah… I’m fine”. 😢

Has he been to see a doctor? Snoring is normal, but not tractor level snoring all the time! He needs to be evaluated. And until he is, I'd be looking at separate bedrooms for my sanity.
