Snoring: The lazy man's cure

[SoCalQuest]

I've been snoring since childhood. It gets to the point, that past roommates have recorded me to let me know how bad it is.

I've tried the tape/bandage thing that stretches the nostrils but it failed miserably.

My current girlfriend frequently wakes me 3-4 times a night so she can get some sleep.

What have other OOTers tried to solve this problem?

sleep on your side?

I don't snore, but there are several different products that help stop snoring. Google it, you googletard.

Solids, you already said he's tried the OTC remedies.

SoCal - You have Sleep Apnea and unless you get medical help you'll never get rid of the problem. I suggest you see your family doctor, get the sleep study that is required and then get a CPAP machine, you wear it when you sleep and with it, you'll never snore again.

Look up Sleep Apnea, you'll see the symptoms are all about you. GL.

Tape a tennis ball to your back. It will make you lie on your side.

Also, since when does snoring loudly mean you have sleep apnea?

Go take a sleep study.

You might have to get a machine that injects air into your nasal cavity. It will stop you from snoring, but it will make you look like a freak.

He only said he tried the breath-easy strips. From my limited knowledge of this subject, there are still several other anti-snoring products to try.

I have done years of sleep research and am published in the field.

My prediction: You need to lose weight, fatty.

I used to be a horrible snorer as well, but not anymore. At least I'm pretty sure I'm not, since I sleep alone, but I haven't heard complaints those times I sleep within a 20-foot radius of someone else.

Here's what helped me:

1. Get rid of allergens. Maybe you're allergic to something in the house and never knew about it, and it affects your breathing at night. When I grew up I lived in a house with pets despite being allergic to pet dander, and even those times I slept somewhere else I snored because my body had been trained to breathe in such a manner that it happened. If your girlfriend just won't get rid of the damn cat (or if you're allergic to her), then you may just be looking in the wrong aisle in the pharmacy.

2. Lose weight. Don't know if that's a problem for you, but it was for me. I would suffer sleep apnea sometimes twice a week. Now I think I've had it once in the last year.
