Have a sleep study done. you could have sleep apnea.

my wife snores so fvcking loud. I wear earplugs.

thought about that. then again, snoring does run in the family. my dad actually just had his deviated septum and some other stuff done...so far its only made his snoring worse, but the scar tissue is supposed to go away.

anyone know if those nose strip thingys work?

1. Breath right stips - HUGE difference!!! You'll actually feel better in the morning - better rested etc. I have apnea(sp?) and used to scare the crap out of the wife (when we were just dating). I would wake her up b/c I would stop breathing and then gasp for air.
2. What dh girlie said

I spoke to my dentist about this. He had his uvula removed (that dangley thing in the back of your throat). He's saying his deal is related to a lazy uvula which cut off his air way when he slept. A sleep study will reveal this and may be covered by your insurance. I need to have one done too and maybe mine removed as well.

Wow...I never knew that thingy had an actual name. But if you have that removed...how will you get that inflection when you sing?

There are some pills from Trader Joe's you can take...Stop Snore or Snore Stop....black and white box. You take one about 30 minutes before you go to bad and another right before. They really work!

something else to try! thanks. RM- a wealth of knowledge!

can snoring be alcohol related?

 

[Slugman]

can snoring be alcohol related?

Yes.

Also alcohol affects your sleep paterns - so when you wake up your not as rested.

Of course a lot of it is volume... a drink or two a couple hours before bedtime is OK. The more you drink and the closer to bedtime you're increasing the affects.

That wavy sound from singing is from the movement of the muscles in the throat, not the uvula. Singers use their diaphragm to control the sound output (volume), and not the vocal chords. The muscles in the throat controls the vocal chords for the notes you’re trying to hit. The uvula moves when you do that as a result of the muscle movement. The first thing a trained vocalist will learn is how to control the volume using their abs/diaphragm and not their vocal chords.

SlowSS, you might also want to try stuff like Affrin nasal spray. When I had a cold, I used that and it cleared up my passages. It also did something else that (I think) stopped my snoring. Give it a try. The stuff I used had the severe congestion label.

 

[iresmoke1]

Damn. I don't snore (thank God) but I grind my teeth at night.
My baby will wake me up b/c it is so loud.
Glad I don't remember.

be careful with afrin though - it can be addictive and make the problem worse.

my dad had sleep apnea - got the surgery - has no uvula - me and biggins were always getting asked by our friends how in the hell we could sleep in that house.

That stuff is EXTREMELY addictive. I got hooked and it took me like a month of diluting it with water to get my nasal passages to work properly without it.

I'm in the same boat. I wake up and my whole face is sore. Sucks.

yep it will mess you up.
plain old saline - i think the brand is ocean - is the best way.

note to self- stay away!
will try nose strips and no-snore from trade-your-crows.

thanks for all the input.

My wife broke a tooth because she grinds her teeth so hard...

WTF? That'd be like getting your schwantz removed........

I KNOW! Sometimes it is sore and sometimes it isn't.
What's up with that!
Screw snoring.
LOL

 

[Wumpus]

One guy we went to the races with snores terribly. He had some kind of spray that worked. Didn't last the whole night, though.


Google turns up a bunch of different ones -- http://www.google.com/search?q=snore+spray

How so? It's not like I jack that dangley thing off to bust a nut.

Edit: Wait let me clarify that - the dangley thing in my throat. Hum... that still doesn't sound quite right, but you know what I mean.

 

[slowSSer]

Perfect timing for this thread. I've recently started dating this girl and holy crap does she snore! First time I've ever been with a woman that does. I'm heading to the store to get some ear plugs for me and some of those breath-right strips! (Now if I can just get her to wear them.)

tell her that it will make "heavy breathing" easier during your "extracirricular actuvities" neaky:

Bwaaaaaahahahahhaha! I made you say "dangley thing in my throat"

I don't let dangley things in *my* throat.

[slowSSer]

the no-snore worked like a charm!
