One more sleepless night and there is going to be a painful pillow fight ambush! Any ideas. I am glad she is sleeping well but DAMMIT MAN!

Have her get you so "Worn Out" that you don't wake up.

I will tell her that one, but I might be kept awake by laughter at that point.

If she smokes, make her stop, worked beautifully on stopping my husband's snoring. If she is overweight, encourage her to lose some, worked wonders for me. Otherwise, the strips, or a well placed elbow, or separate rooms, or turn on some kind of ambient noise like a fan or air conditioner or something to help you be accustomed to some degree of noise in the room, or buy a dog that snores louder so it makes your wife's snoring seem even quieter. Or like the other person said, give her an exceptionally good romp and you'll both sleep like rocks.

If it's a constant thing she may have sleep apnea, which is a very dangerous disorder. People who have it snore very loudly and at times stop breathing during the night. Can't hurt to mention it to her doctor next time she sees him/her.

As far as stopping it, nudging her when she starts will make her stop long enough so you can get to sleep.

Does smothering count as "harm"?

or

Try pillows as bolsters to make sure she stays on her front and cannot role over.

Get yourself some good earplugs! It really is a good solution!

lol not a smoker. The dog is a sweetie she would never snore. I tried elbows, kicking, shoving, jerking pillows, rolling her over. Fan on.

Does she have allergies that could be stuffing up her nose? If so, have her talk to her doctor about using a steriod nose spray at night. They are safe to use every day unlike regular nose sprays.

sleep apnea and a deviated septum are two possible causes. The deviated septume can be fixed fairly easily.

You might also try going to bed before her. I doubt her snoring is so loud that it would wake you from a deep sleep.

Earplugs.

I had this problem (me snoring, not my wife) and did a bunch of research. It turns out that something like 90% of snoring is caused by nasal congestion.

Here's some things that I found to be helpful.

Air filters (put a HEPA filter right next to the bed).
Nasal decongestants (take some right before going to bed).
Breath Right strips (the things actually do work).

There's also a variety of "anti-snore" products on the market, but in general I think you ought to try the easy fixes first. Plus, with less congestion, the (previously) snoring person sleeps better as well.

I started snoring about a year ago. I had my septum fixed and sinus aurgery. Didn't help.

The only thing that prevents my snoring is sleeping on my side of on my belly. On my back I snore. When not on my back, I do not.

My wife is hotter than your wife.

Just don't do what my ex-fiancee did.

We had just mvoed into our new house and were getting used to living together. We had been spending an insane amount of time getting ready for the wedding and everything so we were both just totally exhausted. She woke me up one night complaining about my snoring and I felt really bad for her. I was simply too tired to get up, so I literally crawled out of bed and into the hallway. It was winter and I was naked, but I was simply too tired to dress or drag a cover with me. Despite that, I did manage to get back to sleep. The next thing I remember is a sharp pain in my ribs as she is kicking me for snoring in the hallway.

Earplugs might work. My wife and I both snore like hell especially if we're sleeping on our backs. Does it bother us? Nope... we're both DEAF!

The only way we found out about the snoring was snuggling up and then feeling the vibrations...

My brother, however, can hear quite good, and years ago we'd gone to a ski resort and shared bunk beds in a small inn. First night there I get a strong whack on the side of the wood frame, BAM!

I've heard that there are different reasons for snoring. Deviated septum, nasal constriction, etc. Some might be cured by nasal strips. Others might require a mouth piece of some sort. If it's bad, she might need to see a specialist for proper treatment. I've also heard that some snoring can be associated with heart disease.

get rid of her.

sleeps more important.

snoring can have many causes from a minor head cold to something more serious.

have her talk to her doctor, because there are tons of solutions out there, depending on what's causing the problem. her doctor can steer her in the right direction.

[cvfd1399 0]

Thanks you guys we have some breath right strips to try tonight. She has had her adnoids? removed already, she thinks it's her tonsils, and her constant allergies. We will try the things you guys suggested.

My wife didn't believe me that she snores sometimes. Well, one night I got the old tape recorder out. She didn't seem to think it was as funny as I thought it was.... oh well.

See, I don't mind the snoring as much as I mind the grinding of the teeth. That sound keeps me up. I've even tried putting my hand on his mouth to stop the grinding, doesn't work.
