Snoring boyfriend?
I really think I’m going to kill my boyfriend. I’m at my whits end. He snores like fat hippo….. or what I would imagine a fat hoppo to snore like.
I’ve had barely any sleep the last few nights, last night only managed about 4 and I am a person who needs my sleep. I’m meant to be up in hrs for work but I can’t even get to sleep because of his stupid snoring. I am really beginning to resent him for it.
He has tried nasal strips… he snores with them on believe it or not. He used to stop when he rolled onto his side, only now I’ve nudged him to do this so many times he’s adapted to snoring on his side. Wonderful.
What else can I do? I’M GOING TO KILL HIM! I am so, so tired! Anything else work for snoring? Ear plugs just hurt or fall out and I dont really want to sleep in another room… tho I may have to tonight.
No stupid answers please, like the first I got. I want to know if anyone has any tried and tested remedies to help. Thanks xXx
I feel sorry for you, I had the same trouble with my x boyfriend, his snoring was so bad, he tried everything, nose strips etc, there is a nasal spray you can get, depending where you live, if you are in the UK then it’s called ‘Snore No More’spray £8.50 for 10ml or you can get a Homeopathic remedy from Amazon.com it’s called ‘Y-Snore Homeopathic Nasal Pump $10.08. Hope this helps
solution to snoring?
A man has a dog that snores in his sleep. Annoyed, because she can’t sleep, his wife goes to the vet to see if he can help. The vet tells the woman to tie a ribbon around the dog’s private parts &he will stop snoring. A few hours after going to bed, the dog is snoring as usual. Finally, unable to sleep, she goes to the closet & grabs a piece of ribbon and ties it around the dog’s parts, and sure nough, the dog stops snoring. The woman is amazed! Later that night, her husband returns home drunk from being out with his buddies. He climbs into bed, falls asleep, and begins snoring very loudly. The woman thinks maybe the ribbon will work on him. So she goes to the closet again, grabs a piece of ribbon, and ties it around her husband’s parts. Amazingly, it also works on him!
The woman sleeps very soundly. The next morning, the husband wakes up very hung over. He tumbles into the bathroom.
As he is standing in front of the toilet, he looks in the mirror and sees a blue ribbon attached to his privates.
He is very confused, and, as he walks back into the bedroom, he notices a red ribbon attached to his dog’s parts.
He shakes his head, looks down at the dog and says:
"Boy, don’t remember where we were or what we did, but, by golly, we got first and second place!"
Whole room got good laugh. Thanks!
Is there a polite, more sensitive name for a woman’s heavy snoring?
Something like "pillow rumbles" or something that won’t cause her to suffocate me when I bring it up.
Suggestions people, I need sleep
Your best bet is to pretend female snoring doesn’t exist, like female farts. If you must name them, call them "ice cream dreams", as if it sounds like she’s inhaling an entire Haagen-Dazs delivery truck.
Kevorkian: I Have “No Regrets” Being “Dr. Death”
John Roberts asked Dr. Jack Kevorkian if he would still be willing to help terminally ill patients end their lives. “Not now,” he said. “it wouldn’t serve any purpose.” Though he said he had “no regrets” on his career as “Dr. Death.” “It’s my duty,” he said.
He also said that life in prison was “boring” and complained about how “a lot of people snore in prison.”
As far as the Michael Jackson case, he said he didn’t know all of the facts, but he said Dr. Conrad Murray was “trying to conform to the patient’s wishes. That’s what a good doctor should do.” “As long as it’s in conformity with regular medical ethics,” he had no problem with what Murray did on the day Jackson died. Kevorkian also hinted the King of Pop might have been on a “suicide campaign” of his own.

My wife’s snoring is louder than a 747 …. any suggestions on ending her snoring or dealing with it ?
Make sure she doesn’t sleep on her back. That practically guarantees snoring. She needs to sleep on her side. Also, if she is having sinus issues, she may need to take an antihistamine and sudafed (a decongestant) as needed. Breathe Right nasal strips can also help, and regular exercise as well. Good luck!
anyone got a good solution for heavy snoring?
Adults who suffer from mild or occasional snoring should try the following self-help remedies:
Adopt a healthy and athletic lifestyle to develop good muscle tone and lose weight.
Avoid tranquilizers, sleeping pills, and antihistamines before bedtime.
Avoid alcohol for at least four hours and heavy meals or snacks for three hours before retiring.
Establish regular sleeping patterns
Sleep on your side rather than your back.
Tilt the head of your bed upwards four inches.
Remember, snoring means obstructed breathing, and obstruction can be serious. It’s not funny, and not hopeless
Heavy Snoring Treatment
Treatment depends on the diagnosis. An examination will reveal if the snoring is caused by nasal allergy, infection, deformity, or tonsils and adenoids.
Snoring or obstructive sleep apnea may respond to various treatments now offered by many otolaryngologist-head and neck surgeons:
Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) is surgery for treating obstructive sleep apnea. It tightens flabby tissues in the throat and palate, and expands air passages.
Thermal Ablation Palatoplasty (TAP) refers to procedures and techniques that treat snoring and some of them also are used to treat various severities of obstructive sleep apnea. Different types of TAP include bipolar cautery, laser, and radiofrequency. Laser Assisted Uvula Palatoplasty (LAUP) treats snoring and mild obstructive sleep apnea by removing the obstruction in the airway. A laser is used to vaporize the uvula and a specified portion of the palate in a series of small procedures in a doctor’s office under local anesthesia. Radiofrequency ablation—some with temperature control approved by the FDA—utilizes a needle electrode to emit energy to shrink excess tissue to the upper airway including the palate and uvula (for snoring), base of the tongue (for obstructive sleep apnea), and nasal turbinates (for chronic nasal obstruction).
Genioglossus and hyod advancement is a surgical procedure for the treatment of sleep apnea. It prevents collapse of the lower throat and pulls the tongue muscles forward, thereby opening the obstructed airway.
If surgery is too risky or unwanted, the patient may sleep every night with a nasal mask that delivers air pressure into the throat; this is called continuous positive airway pressure or "CPAP".
Does your significant other snore and hog the bed?
I have a very hard time getting to sleep on my own, but my boyfriend falls asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow and then the snoring starts…loud snoring most of the time. Then he sleeps in the middle of the bed. and I am right on the edge. Help!!! Does this happen to you? What do you do to survive? Any tips would be appreciated.
My husband’s has gotten so bad I threatened to setup a bed in another room if he didn’t get checked. For a while he used the "breathe right strips for colds" and it helped alot, at the time. If I fell asleep before him I was alright but now it wakes up. It was so bad the other night "his dog" left the bedroom too! He recently retired from the military and has gained about 20 pounds so I know that’s part of it but his dad and brother have both been diagnosed with sleep apnea so chances are he may have it also.
I finally convinced him to go to the doctor and they’ve started him on a diet and have scheduled a sleep study. I’m not out of the woods yet but hope they have some answers.
As far as sleeping in the middle of the bed, my husband and I slept right up against each other but since he doesn’t seem to snore badly laying on his right side as soon as he goes to sleep I shove a pillow up against his back so he can’t role over. I’ve been awake and watched him try and most of the time as soon as he feels that "barrier" I guess subconsciously he must think he can’t role over because he doesn’t.
We go to bed at the same time so I started a routine for myself to start relaxing i.e. chamomille tea, a bath, reading, about an hour before bed so I’ll be tired enough to fall asleep and hopefully stay asleep!
Unfortunately, none of these things worked 100% of the time or he wouldn’t be finally going to the doctor but that doesn’t mean it might not work for you. I wish had a solid answer for you but I’m still waiting for the solution too. In the meantime though these suggestions did help me for those nights where I would have otherwise, for sure, lost sleep.
Good Luck and if the doctor comes up with something I haven’t tried yet I’ll try and get that info. to you.

My Roommate Snoring
I’ve lost so much sleep over this, yet he still has doubts. Hopefully not any more.
The blue light in the beginning is his laptop. Then I moved the camera next to his bed loft looking towards the door. I had to duck down at the end because he snored himself awake and almost saw me.
