How do you stop someone from snoring?

When my husband snores, it has to be the most annoying sound ever. I've tried nose strips, creams, pushing him, poking him, everything! Nothing seems to work...Any adive or tricks?

I cannot wear earplugs, so that is out of the question. The only thing that seems to work is for me to wake him up and make him go to another room!

Thanks.

The worst is when he rolls over and snores directly into my ear...I almost think he does it on purpose!

My family is a snore band! and they are really entertaining. If I can't get a sleep I open all the 3 bedroom doors and listen to their snore while I'm online busy chatting.:)

At some point I was really exhausted of traveling and I sleep first before my husband do. he said last night it was really strange! I asked! and why is that? he said because this is the first time ever I heard you snore! and he actually recorded it. My husband , son and daughter are all snorer. if we go on holiday we stay in one room and believe me, if you get use to it, it sound like a band playing :) hi! hi! hi! my daughter! shhh, my husband! ngorkkk, my son! prrrr

shhh, ngorkkk, prrrr shhh, ngorkkk, prrrr shhh, ngorkkk, prrrr

What can you say? doesn't it sound like a band?

Even if you record it, they still deny it:) I remember one time I was reading in bed couldn't get a sleep because my hubby is fast asleep and snoring and when it gets louder, he managed to wake up himself :) poor chap hi! hi! hi!

Thanks everyone, I've pretty much given up.

well, i've tried almost everything in the book and nothing's worked!

i come from a long line of snorers, my dad, uncles, granddad...i start off slow but then i've been told that i reach decibels that could shake walls!

i've tried for years to get around this but nothing's worked. Snoring put an end to atleast 2 of my relationships. i'm not broke up about it, it was as good an excuse as any!

i've looked at probable causes.

i'm a smoker but before anyone draws any conclusions between the link here, nobody in family smokes. so it can't be the smoking.

i used to be scary skinny when i was travelling for 3 years in india and still snored. so it can't be the weight that's making me snore either.

For anyone who says sleeping on your side stops snoring, come over and watch me sleep. it's prob not a pretty sight but atleast it'll clear that issue!

i've been told that surgery that can help but i chatted with a guy in the states whose wife got him to do it for her birthday! (see the amount of abuse we snorers have to go through. and that too for something that's beyond our control!) and after the surgery, he looked like a racoon for a few days and the snoring returned with a vengenance. he also has problems breathing normally now.

i wish there was a permanent solution but like a common cold, everyone's got their own way of trying to cure it and unfortunately that's all you can do.

it's not going away. so stop blaming us for something we can do nothing about!

Let me tell you about heartache and the loss of God

may i suggest:-

1 u tape his mouth

2 u staple his mouth

3 u glue his mouth

4 u make him sleep on the sofa

5 u make him sleep in the toilet

6 u make him do all of the above once a night in the week:)

but seriously i think he should sleep on his tummy or on his side...so i've heard

Honestly, don't think anything works. My husband snores and I absolutely hate it, but now he tells me that I actually snore. Am pregnant and I feel it has something to do with weight.

The only permanent solution is to kill him. There are several ways to do this, use your imagination.

My husband suggested to practise meditation, he said it focus your mind rather than wondering all over the place.

I didn't notice my husband snoring after 3 nights broken sleep, but my frigging mind is busy with QL!

The only way to solve snore problem is CHANGE HUSBAND .... ;-) lol ... kidding.

I have the same problem, and if i can't stand it i just move to my son's room.

I thought only my hubby who have hair phobia ... i think i just met you ladies who are in the same boat with me hehe ...

I leave hair everywhere too! But I just told mine that if he likes my hair long, he better not complain.

So now when he pulls my hair out of weird places he gets my attention, does it silently and then dramtically drops it.

Its very endearing.

I really hate the snoring though!

and my husband's solution is to go to the other room! Less alcohol works, though, and certain foods make it worse, such as curry. Mind you, the dog snores too so I guess I have competition - and I usually blame it on him.

I always say that's why my husband fell in love with me - I'm like his dog: snores, leaves blond hair everywhere and takes up too much space in the bed.

LOL

Fair enough. But really, what i said before works - although, she said it, and she is the ex now. Hmmm

Stopping the snoring epidemic! Guess what?? It can't be stopped, short of surgery, but it can be tamed. Yep, I'm a snorer too. My ex used to get me to take Sudafed tablets each night - she said it cleared the nasal passage. Also, no alcohol at night, this induses heavy breathing. Nasal sprays work a little, but these can damage the nasal tissue if prolonged use occurs. Try buying different height pillows to adjust his neck for a clear breathing passage, and keep the one that works! Keep him on his side, and a pillow put behind him will help him do this (some people say tiew a tennis ball to his back for this, but it's f***n cruel).

Good Luck!
