I haven't slept on my back in 6 years. It's the little things about being single you occasionally miss, you know?

Its all good advice, but I dont smoke and im not overweight. I am going to ask my doctor next week. I am really only concerned about my gf not getting any sleep, she sleeps over less and less now.

When I sleep on my stomach, I dont snore, I sometimes snore on my side. Sadly I toss and turn all night to get conformatable and even while i am asleep. I tell my gf to wake me up when i snore but she wont..

I think I saw something once that will wake you up when you snore... don't remember the name or anything about it though.

If you wake yourself up from snoring or if the gf notices that you stop breathing for a little during your snoring (or you feel really tired even after long sleeps), you probably have sleep apnea. The best cure right now is going to a pulmonologist or sleep doctor and getting a CPAP machine. It's a mask (kinda like a real flimsy gas mask) that you wear at night over your mouth and nose. It keeps some sort of pressure to keep your soft mouth parts from blocking your airway. I spent some time shadowing a doc who specialized in sleep medicine and the majority of his patients loved the machine and said it made a huge impact in their lives. I guess it just depends if you're willing to wear the mask.
